Election for the executive of Pan Trinbago is usually held in October, seeing that all the court matters are history one would assume that one will be called this year, why there is no one looking like they want to oppose them?

The present administration of Pan Trinbago has ruin the office, no one in their right mind will want to invest their time battling these people. Drastic times calls for drastic measures, total boycott of panorama.
Saving Pan Trinbago
Previously, Len “Boogsie” Sharpe pronounced pan as dead in defiance of the Patrick Arnold administration. Forensically, the Minister of Arts and Multiculturalism Winston “Gypsy” Peters in his autopsy, cited Panorama as the cause of death for the steelpan, and advised that its scope should be broadened. The new Diaz administration is under intense fire, they have been chided for maladministration, business failure and corruption, are facing budget and stipend cuts, and double jeopardy from Sharpe’s Panorama 2K11 offering. Do Something for Pan. One would hope that this bouffing from the minister would be accepted as an obstacle, altered to a stepping stone, and dealt with as a challenge instead of an attack on the pan body or disrespect for the national instrument. This of course entails stepping up to the plate and totally turning things around for Panorama and pan. Let’s look at the challenges of turning things around, and broadening the scope—The steelband movement has been organised since 1950, and the original bargaining body was the National Association of Trinidad and Tobago Steelbandsmen (NATTS).
Pan Trinbago, its successor, was formed in 1971 as a cultural organisation, which formerly operated and was registered as a Union representing the interest of steelpan players, and later incorporated by Act of Parliament 5 of 1986. One of Pan Trinbago’s major objectives is—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. Therefore, is Pan Trinbago better off being a trade union/bargaining body for panists, or a limited liability company at the helm of the global pan fraternity? The overview link of the Pan Trinbago Inc Web site brags of several meaningful objectives, and the potent tag line “World Governing Body for Steelpan” suggests to most, an organisation in full control and successfully managing the business of pan. The track record and balance sheet to date do not reflect a body or enterprise capable of delivering the stuff a world governing body is made of. Maybe the thinking, structure, management and mission of a successful organisation such as Fifa is something Pan Trinbago needs to adopt or at least seriously consider.

It looks like "Diaz" is doing the exact same thing that Patrick Arnold used to do, I wonder if Boogsie feels the same way about Diaz or if Diaz have his hand in Boogsie pocket? just asking,
Bede,
You know the saying "Money Talks, Bullshit Walks" after all the noise about doing something for Pan,the photo ops with Diaz and the trip to Nigeria. No more opposition to Diaz leadership, Boogsie gone silent.
Can you imagine a Panorama without Phase II? What better way to stifle your opposition.
The last time someone challenged Pan Trinbago we saw what happened…you be the judge.
After challenging the new administration Diaz and company with “Do Something for Pan” did anything change? Time to revisit/rewrite a new constitution to reflect today’s reality.

There use to be a guy on this web site name "Claude Gonzales" that used to say that we will talk all we want, when the time comes "Diaz" will still be here, and he was perfectly Right.
