Some members of Midnight Ridazz, a loosely-organized bicycle group in Los Angeles, CA, have bought and begun refitting a former Los Angeles city bus.

The intent is to bring Los Angeles' unique bike culture to other cities and events around the country. By having our own bus, the Bus Ridazz (as the group has been dubbed) won't have to rely on the availability or affordability of airplane tickets, bus tickets, or individuals with cars. The bus will be fitted with bike racks on the exterior, making it the ideal transportation for trips to biking events further afield. We go when we want!

To this end, the Bus Ridazz formed a company so that, when the Midnight Ridazz bus is completed, it can be run as a business and initial investors can recover their investment. The business has been registered as Yaysayers, LLC, a nod towards the initial conflict surrounding whether or not this was even a good idea. Strong dissenters were called out as Naysayers, and true believers were dubbed Yaysayers. Those who were either equivocal or refrained from commentary were known as Maysayers.

Management Ideazz (R1) for Yaysayers, LLC:

• Yaysayers, LLC has a member-elected Board of Directors. The Board votes and makes decisions on behalf of the collected membership. Benefit: Streamlined decision-making process. Downside: Not a direct reflection of What The People Want.

• Yaysayers, LLC is completely member-governed, with no hierarchy, board of directors, or executor. Every decision is made by vote from all members. Benefit: Every decision reflects exactly What The People Want. Downside: Cumbersome decision-making process, no set protocol for executing on decisions, the bank doesn't know who to call when there's a problem.

• An executor (a person who carries out actions, or executes, on behalf of Yaysayers, LLC) is elected and acts on the decisions made by a Board of Directors. The Board of Directors reaches consensus, and the Executor acts upon it. Benefit: Having one person sign all the contracts with the added input of the board. Downside: Not a direct reflection of What The People Want, consensus-based systems can stall decision-making.

• Dictatorship. One person has all the power, makes all the decisions, takes other people's wants into account only never. Also known as a Dicktatorship. Also known as a Flufferdom. Benefit: Includes the word "dick'" in it, so we can say "dick" even more than we already do. Downside: Fascism.

As of this writing (14 August, 2008), Yaysaysers, LLC has decided on a Board of Directors and an executor, acting only after reaching consensus. If consensus is not reached during the first meeting, the group will break and agree to meet again. If during the second meeting consensus still cannot be reached, the agenda item will go to 2/3 majority.

Written into the charter of Yaysayers, LLC is the ability to change the management structure should the organization see fit to do so.
