Democratic Reform of Common Interest Development and Property Owners Association Law — I am particularly interested in establishing communication with those of you who have a similar interest in democratic reform of Common Interest Development and Property Owners Association law to broaden the collaborative effort. It is in the interest of individual POA members to have well-functioning and well-managed POAs. Similarly, the interests of the developers and others should be considered. But the framework must be governance of the POA members, by the POA members and for the POA members. Your thoughts, questions and comments are welcome.

The Left Column — Start with the left column. Scroll down to understand the content and arrangement. Most should be self explanatory.
POA Member Resources — Internet links to other resources for POA members under the heading "POA MEMBER RESOURCES" have been added at the bottom of the left column.
"Search this Weblog" — Two search engines are provided and produce slightly different results. The Google search for this weblog produces more focused hits, but you may have to use the Google feature "repeat the search with the omitted results included" to locate all the relevant posts.
