Factual Based Stakeholders: It's not the definition its the people
On Wednesday evening I attended the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners, Neighborhood Council Plan Review and Reform Committee meeting held at the Glassell Park Recreation Center.
The meeting plodded on slowly--I got there at 6:00 p.m., by the time I left at 7:30 p.m. the committee had come to the conclusion that there should be factual-based stakeholders even though all present admitted that they did not know what the definition of factual based stakeholder was.
After leaving the meeting early and reflecting a little I concluded that the issue of factual based stakeholders does not lie in its definition.

There are some people in society that for a variety of reasons will twist and turn and shape things from the available resources in such a way as to end up with a product that was never intended. Take for example a bowling ball. Bowling balls are specifically manufactured for the purpose of engaging in bowling. Now, there may be a perverted person who takes up a bowling ball and drops it off the top of a roof with the intent of killing someone. The problem is not the definition of the factual based stakeholder; the problem is with the small group of people who for whatever reasons chose to pervert its original intent.
Whatever might be done to re-define the factual based stakeholder, there will always be someone who will find a loop-hole and use it in a self-serving way. If you completely abolish it then those same people will find some other way to fulfill their own selfish desires.
