Re: Theos-World Re: TS Rule Changes

I am against the practical application of such a system and I have reasons for that. Reasons that I cannot explain here. 

Every Section has the right to have a seat in the council. Maybe every Section with 5 thousand members could have the right to have one more seat as a result a section with 10 thousand members would have 3 members in the council. The numbers below are non sense.

            Greece - 140 members - 1 GC member

India - 13,000 members - 92 GC members

Rest - 17,000 members - 121 GC members

Total GC members - 214



Above system seems even better. As there are 214 members (which is

large enough), Theosophical Society won't be hijacked by whims of few

individuals, as it is happening now.
