As Kitty explained on another thread, the AUCM members are here, but "they actively chose not to participate in the rollcall/elections as we run our own show."
Since the AUCM Facebook page is pretty locked down and the only way to add posts to it is as a visitor, I've got some lingering questions:
1. Who is in the AUCM?
2. Is everyone in the AUCM based in the east cost of Australia? If so, how do fans from other states and territories get into the AUCM so we can work with you?
3. Is the AUCM membership locked to just the people who are a part of it right now?
Other fans in Perth have queried me on this and asked why we just don't make our own "separate squad/platoon Facebook group" but I've always shot it down because there already is an AUCM that exists and is meant to cover all of the Australia fan base.
I'm just trying to understand how the AUCM works since with the AUCM Facebook group so restricted with its posting, those of us who don't regularly attend Sydney and Melbourne conventions who are fans pretty much just run rogue doing our own thing. At Supanova Perth 2022 for example, by chance alone I ended up finding two more Aliens fans dressed like Dropship pilots (and doing a damn good job of it) along with my buddy and I in our marine kits (him in the armor and I as an officer) with a fifth that we found dressed up like their Aliens TRPG Colonial Marine character.
I'd just like to be more a part of the Australia group than just a fringe.
