Very few would argue that Pan Trinbago is an organizational model to be copied on any level. What would you change in Pan Trinbago?

As I've been implying/indicating since 2013, a "Legislative Proposal" to ERADICATE and or REPEAL Act No 5 of 1986, replacing it with a Ministry for Pan, within the Ministry of Arts and Multiculture, this would/should take care of Diaz and his regime ...
Then it will be up to the GENERAL MEMBERSHIP to decide their FATE...
" The general membership of the steelband Movement decided that it would better serve their interests in the development and promotion of the steelband, to become incorporated by an Act of Parliament here in Trinidad and Tobago."
A lot has changed in the last 30 years, a digital revolution has occurred, do they remain a "cultural" organization or become unionized? Would the Ministry of PAN solve the problems they are having with income distribution and professional development?
ODW; Act No 5 of 1986 is NOT, the registration of a UNION, Act No 5 of 1986 is an incorporation registration, section (a) to promote the development of the steel band movement, an indigenous cultural art form...
A time for review...
PanTrinbago is a cultural organization which was incorporated by Act of Parliament, 5 of 1986. It formerly operated and was registered as a Union representing the interest of steelpan players. The general membership of the steelband Movement decided that it would better serve their interests in the development and promotion of the steelband, to become incorporated by an Act of Parliament here in Trinidad and Tobago, the birth place of the steelband and the main centre for the propagation of this art form.
Pan Trinbago expects to maintain strong ties and work closely with Musicians’ Unions in countries wherever steelpan players perform, so that any industrial and/or labour disputes involving steelbandsmen could be properly handled.
Pan Trinbago is recognized as the parent body for steelbands not only in Trinidad and Tobago but in all parts of the world where such bands may exist. We are not only a national organization, representing the largest cultural group in our country, but an international organization which is active in the promotion of a new and vibrant musical form that is fast achieving universal recognition and acceptance.
Pan Trinbago was formed in 1971 but the Steelband Movement has been organized since 1950. Pan Trinbago’s predecessor was the National Association of Trinidad and Tobago steelbandsmen and we wish to pay tribute to all the pioneers of the former Steelband Association who have laid the groundwork to successfully represent the Steelband Movement and assure that the rights of our members are not trampled upon.
Pan Trinbago, as stated in its constitution, holds a Triennial Convention at which each band is represented by two delegates with voting powers. Observers are also allowed, but these do not have the right to cast a vote at the Organisation’s general election, which takes place at the end of the Convention. An annual General Meeting is held in the month of October, where Reports from the President, Secretary and Treasurer are considered.

Social Media change the game, WTS members can now be vigilant of activities by the governing body, we can also arouse suspicion, educate and inform, we can bring news as it happens. It's easy to make things public now.
Bugs,
I like your out of the box approach. "Very few would argue that Pan Trinbago is an organizational model to be copied on any level."

I've been IMPLYING/SAYING IT before Panorama 2015 and the International Panorama, a "Legislative Proposal" to AUDIT Pan Trinbago, and ERADICATE/UPROOT/ABOLISH Act No 5 of 1986, should do the trick...
Are you saying this act #5 created this type of organization?
Pan Trinbago Inc., is a non-profit body incorporated in Trinidad and Tobago dedicated to the promotion and development of the steelpan and pannists worldwide.
Then its understandable why it cannot be copied, there are limitations to what you can accomplish in its scope and responsibility. This is a cultural organization trying to function like a for profit business organization.
The MODEL has to change or create separate entities in order to be a manageable business. Marketing, Accounting, Product Development and Servicing its members and consumers should carry specific responsibilities and budgetary allocations.
Gentlemen please be reasonable Diaz removed Patrick Arnold who removed Owen Serrette who replaced Arnim Smith. So Keith Diaz can be removed also. So I am asking again ARE YOU WILLING TO PUT YOUR HANDS TO THE WHEEL OF CHANGE. ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE POLITICS OF PANTRINBAGO. ARE YOU WILLING TO WALK THE WALK OR JUST TALK. ....Cary Codrington.
Cary, you sounding serious boi!!
