IF the plaintiffs are still as reasonable as they portrayed themselves in the 2011 thread, and IF the VCS is still willing to provide reasonable accommodations, it could work.

That being said, I doubt any of the lawyers involved would ever consider letting their clients participate. But if this is truly about fair access to activities and what is best for the community, the WHOLE community, then screw the lawyers and do the right thing
I like optimism as much as the next person, but I think your proposed solution, while perhaps noble, is unrealistic. It won't work.

Some type of legal representation, and in line with what PennBF suggests, is now needed to defend the interests of 120,000 people. I also think it's now up to us, not the Developer, to take action. I suggest the POA but there may be other ways to better achieve two objectives.

The two objectives are: 1) restoration or creation of LLLC in some form or fashion ...someone will have to take the lead to run with this but I'm sure will get lots of offer of help, and 2) legal counsel hired to provide protection of the RLGs, Clubs etc from future legal threats from disaffected people, while working out reasonable accommodations in accordance with the law and, hopefully, common sense. (the latter may be a stretch).
