X-Message-Number: 31097 Date: Sun, 5 Oct 2008 21:30:33 -0600 From: "Finance Department" <> Subject: David Pizer, the Venturists, Alcor, and Wm O'Rights ------=_Part_24512_19120891.1223263833419 Content-Disposition: inline Without at the time pointing out the obvious, that David Pizer's position on the self-perpetuating Venturist Board is a bit incompatible with his previously stated desire to change the very same thing about Alcor's self-perpetuating Board, in an earlier post (CryoNet 31088) I challenged Mr. Pizer to fix this glaring problem. He answered the same way Alcor has answered about their glaring problem. With silence. This doesn't give me a lot of confidence in, or reason to join, the Venturists. However, I did want to say one thing, regarding the donations some folks have sent to the Venturists for William O'Rights' cryopreservation. I view that as a rather separate issue from how their Board is elected, and want to state here that I have no reason to believe that donations earmarked for O'Rights will not be properly handled as intended. The Venturists is the place to go to help Bill O'Rights. Heck, I'd even say send money to Alcor if they were collecting it for O'Rights. Just because an organization leaves a lot to be desired in how it is structured, does not mean the people in it won't do things right the best they can. Help Bill out now while you can. Maybe the Ettinger plan (Cryonet 30949) will appeal to you. The Pavlica plan (CryoNet 30952) I guess expired on Sept 30. Both of them say they will send the money to the Venturists for O'Rights, if you meet their stipulated conditions. Or send a check directly to the Venturists.
