Editing History of BeWelcome (section)

=== in 2005 ===

Some of the core volunteers from the [[Hospitality Club]] - the ones who had been working so closely with [[Veit Kuehne|Veit]] for years - started to question Veit about some processes which were obviously missing in the [[Hospitality Club]]. These special topics were the following:
* the absence of any legal status for the [[Hospitality Club]]
* the absence of any democratic system in the way of taking decisions, at any level
* the absence of any transparency in the management of finances, at any level
Other aspects were pointed out too: feeling of manipulation of volunteers, lack of transparency on [[Hospitality Club]] policies for members...

Those shortcomings became even more problematic to the founders of HCvol since the [[Hospitality Club]] could not be considered a baby anymore but a real project that was actually growing very fast. Concerned volunteers felt the responsibility to work on these topics so they could evolve and, with some time and efforts, be implemented in [[Hospitality Club]].

However, Veit never focused on these problems but tried to make volunteers stick to concrete work instead. He refused to debate and chose neither to involve nor to inform even the most committed volunteers on those issues.
