North American Founders' Council - Who and what is it?

A week ago Quixtar, the North American Founder's Council (NAFC), and the IBOAI released a joint statement regarding TEAM.

Since that statement I've seen numerous folk asking what the NAFC was, often claiming it was "mysterious" and "non-representative" and "why haven't I (they) heard of it?"

Well, if they haven't heard of it , that's because they don't bother reading information provided by Quixtar. How to become a Founders' Council member is clearly outlined in the Quixtar Business Incentive's brochure. I quote from the 2007 version (may require Quixtar logon) -

Amway UK reminds us what a great company Amway can be

Amway United Kingdom & Ireland has been undergoing some challenges this year, with an investigation by the DTI (now BERR) into Amway's business being triggered by a concerted campaign by Amway critics on the internet. In response to the risk of having the business shut down, Amway UK & Ireland put in place a freeze on all sponsoring and the use of unauthorised BSM (Business Support Materials). Retailing of products was still permissible.

As you can imagine, such a freeze and uncertainty could easily have quite disastrous effects on the growth of individual IBOs businesses. Perhaps those most greatly affected would be those IBOs striving to achieve Platinum and above and their associated rewards, such as free incentive trips.

While there's been some ongoing conflict between IBOs and Quixtar in the United States, Amway UK & Ireland has stepped up to take care of IBOs in this situation, changing and simplifying the requirements to qualify for various bonuses and trips this year. Below is the letter from Amway UK branch manager Tom Denham to all Platinums and above -

Court issues temporary restraining order against Quixtar

The Wayne County Circuit Court has, correctly in my view, issued a temporary restraining order against Quixtar. Last week Quixtar sent a letter threatening TEAM-affiliated platinums with suspension if they didn't return a signed letter to Quixtar agreeing to certain conditions by noon Monday.



Naturally enough, the affected parties went to Court trying to stop them. The Court issued a temporary restraining order and called a hearing on August 31 to decide what further shall happen.

TEAM forums banning all dissenters?

TEAM IBOs have been running a forum at http://forums.freetheibo.info. Frankly I don't think they've been helping their cause much, as many of them have been talking about practices explicitly against Quixtar rules.

I've been somewhat sympathetic to some of the issues TEAM has raised, but to be honest, their reps. are starting to p**s me off. I went to read the forums and discovered my IP address had been banned, supposedly for breaking the rules. I double checked the rules and my posts and couldn't find any I broke, so using a different IP address I logged on and posted a message asking why I'd been banned.
