The Point at Poipu Owners Association 

2018 Annual Meeting - Tuesday, March 6 in Kauai


All proxies must be submitted by Tuesday, February 27, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.



  • There is a different form of election this year.  For the first time, DRI is conducting this election in the manner specified by our By-Laws.  Each deeded owner is allocated the number of votes based on your holding.  If you own one week of Every Other Year, you get three votes, one for each open seat.  If you own an annual week, you would get six votes.  If you own multiple weeks, just multiply by three or six.
  • If we all cast all of our votes for Carl, yes you can cast all six (or 12 or however many you have) for a single candidate, we have a change of placing at least one owner friendly member on the Board.

  • There seems to be some confusion about the voting process so let me attempt to explain it. If you own one every other year deeded week, you get one vote per open board position. If you own an annual deed, you get twice that, two votes per open board position. This year, there are three seats open on each of the two boards, the VOA and AOAO. If you own one annual week, you get six votes for each board, six for the VOA and six for the AOAO. If you own more than one week, you get an additional six for each week you own,

    Cumulative voting means you may cast all of your votes for a single candidate.

    Your proxy will tell you how many votes you have in each election.

    As a personal example, we own two annual weeks. Six votes per week times two weeks, we have 12 votes in each of the two elections.

    We cast all 12 of our votes for Carl Jones in each of the two elections.

    We hope you do the same!


Board of Director vacancies:

        VOA Board - three vacancies  Cast all votes for Carl Jones
AOAO Board - three vacancies  Cast all votes for Carl Jones
         

Candidate Statement from the Official Proxy
Carl L. Jones:
This is my 6th attempt at a position on our Board. Honest owner representation must be restored in our Board. The enormous amount of votes controlled by DRI and the existing DRI controlled Board make becoming a Board member impossible without DRI casting the votes they control for the candidate. We, as the Deeded owners must regain representation on the Board. The only possibility for a fare Election is one in which DRI does not vote in the election and allows the owners to elect a board of their choosing as was originally intended by the people that started and built the Point at Poipu we all love so much! I urge you and every other owner to contact DRI and insist they let us elect our Board. If and when that happens and I am fairly elected by you, I will represent you! I have absolutely no affiliation with Diamond Resorts International outside of being a Deeded Owner at the Point. Please VOTE and use the new DRI Member to Member Online Message Board, it is a great way for all owners to communicate, you can find me there as “ibucarl” or contact me directly at chiefjones@mtaonline.net.



A Summary of sorts, in our opinion

We have the very unusual situation whereby our Board of Directors does not represent the broad ownership of thousands of individual deeded owners but rather, the interests of Diamond Resorts.  

In a review of available BOD minutes, the Agenda is prepared by DRI and our "president" does noting more than open & close the meeting - it is entirely orchestrated by DRI.  Further, the minutes reflect that everyone on the Board votes unanimously for every motion - there is never any discussion or an alternate point of view.

Listen up folks - this is a "slam-dunk" by Diamond Resorts and we need to take them to task for this. 

The interests, that DRI makes claim to, are not in the best interests of the other owners and this imbalance needs to be corrected.
