They are personal in nature, particular to a forum's active members and as such probably do not need the extensive inspection of other members who do not wish to contribute or help the cause. - I'll make sure because of the concerns of our members that I peruse any request in a manner that will safeguard any attempt to support proselytizing. - And finally, while for some there is still the appearance of no separation of church/state, neither is there the separation of FlyerTalk/Caring. |

For the sake of clarity could Randy please confirm:
- Whether Mission to the World continues as a charity recognized as being able to solicit funds on Flyertalk? There is some confusion as the decision to revert the approvals process occurred at about the same time as TB belatedly decided to change it's vote. However, it is not clear that TalkBoard had the power to rescind its vote as it only had the power to approve charities. This should put this matter to rest for once and for all. |
I can confirm - they are not on the current approved list of charities for members to solicit donations.
The request was recalled by the member who sponsored the original request on behalf of a family member, thus taking it out of consideration to be included. Any new charity requests must be submitted to me, the TalkBoard is no longer involved in the process. Thanks for your interest and I hope this answers your question. And you are correct, it did get a little confusing and my apologies for that. Randy

Randy,
Will you or your team be updating the Flyertalk Cares page? It is very outdated... and updates could clear up any confusions on what is approved. Thanks, William Flyertalk Cares Page |
Thanks Randy for the update. Cheers.
