The September 18, 2009 press release from the WGAW: Writers Guild of America, West Announces Final Results of 2009 Officers and Board of Directors Election LOS ANGELES -- The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) has announced the final results of its 2009 WGAW Officers and Board of Directors election. The following members were elected to serve as Officers: President – John Wells; Vice President – Tom Schulman; Secretary-Treasurer – David N. Weiss. "I'm remarkably humbled by the membership returning me to the Presidency of the Guild. I look forward to working with the Board again and to working with David Young and his talented staff to meet the many challenges that lie ahead,” said Wells. “My congratulations to John Wells for his success in a hard-fought campaign. And my congratulations to all members elected to the board. We writers can be somewhat argumentative and opinionated, as anyone who has ever sat around a writers’ table knows. This campaign certainly highlighted some our differences. Now, it's time to pull together and work for the benefit of us all,” said Elias Davis. The following nine members were elected to the WGAW’s Board of Directors: Patric M. Verrone, Howard A. Rodman (inc.), Dan Wilcox (inc.), Linda Burstyn, Billy Ray, Steven Schwartz, Chip Johannessen, Carleton Eastlake, Ian Deitchman. There was a tie for the eighth seat on the Board of Directors. Under the Guild’s constitution, both candidates will be seated. NUMERICAL RESULTS: President: John Wells (1,191, 52.8%); Vice President: Tom Schulman (1,204, 55.5%), Secretary-Treasurer: David N. Weiss (1,114, 53.3%). Board of Directors: Patric M. Verrone (1,364, 10.1%), Howard A. Rodman (1, 270, 9.4%), Dan Wilcox (1,132, 8.4%), Linda Burstyn (953, 7.1%), Billy Ray (915, 6.8%), Steven Schwartz (914, 6.8%), Chip Johannessen (865, 6.4%), Carleton Eastlake (818, 6.1%), Ian Deitchman (818, 6.1%).

OTHER RESULTS: Candidates for Officers: President: Elias Davis (1,066, 47.2%); Vice President: Howard Michael Gould (967, 44.5%); Secretary-Treasurer: Christopher Keyser (976, 46.7%).

A total of 2,348 valid ballots were cast, making this one of the largest election voter turnouts in WGAW history – illustrating ongoing Guild member engagement. The ballot count was supervised by Robbin Johnson of Pacific Election Services, Inc., an independent firm. The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) is a labor union representing writers of motion pictures, television, radio and Internet programming, including news and documentaries. Founded in 1933, the Guild negotiates and administers contracts that protect the creative and economic rights of its members. It is involved in a wide range of programs that advance the interests of writers, and is active in public policy and legislative matters on the local, national and international levels. For more information on the WGAW, please visit: www.wga.org. Below is a pre-election statement from Chip Johannessen, together with a list of his supporters including some very familiar names... July 20, 2009 Chip Johannessen "If the Writers Guild didn't exist we'd have to invent it." Sid Sheinberg said that at the height of the 1988 strike, when he was head of Universal. But that was before Universal was sold to a Japanese electronics manufacturer, who sold it to a Canadian distillery, who sold it to a French bottled water company, who sold it to General Electric, the fifth biggest corporation in the U.S. That was before the only "independents" in town were called SONY and Warners. You think if the Guild didn't exist that anyone at these mega-companies would consider inventing it? Our strike in 2007 was unwanted, and brutally painful, but it was necessary to guarantee that the WGA doesn't vanish as our work moves to the internet. The companies' strategy was to side step us entirely as distribution changes, but there we are. Now we need to stay strong for the negotiations ahead. OUR LEVERAGE - UNITY The more united we are, the more leverage we have. We're an odd union. Members don't make the same hourly wage. One member worries about free rewrites, another about bad cable residuals. And seniority is a mixed blessing. We came together for the strike, but there is much that divides us, and those divisions were apparent by the time the strike ended. Even more sobering, in the last year we've seen SAG's fractured negotiations play out as a cautionary tale about what disunity can wreak. Going into the next round of negotiations I believe we should focus on a short list of items that unite us. Not only because that's what concerns more of us, but because it makes us stronger. Issues not germane to the entire membership (I vaguely remember mandatory premiere invitations for screenwriters making the cut 5 years ago) weaken our hand at the bargaining table. Here's my list and I'm eager to hear yours. First: enforcement, making sure we are actually paid what is due. The companies were already ducking payments from the 2004 agreement, let alone what we won in 2008. In a future where everything is fragmented and streamed, we'll be empty handed unless we lock down enforcement now. Next: health and pension, which are suddenly in play given the national health care discussions going on in Washington. Finally: residuals, but how about focusing on a number that affects us all. Electronic sell through is essentially the much hated DVD formula. Let's make some progress on that. Coming off a successful strike, for the first time in decades we're serious, we have heat. We don't want to squander it by battling each other instead of the companies. THEIR LEVERAGE - CONSOLIDATION The bigger they get, the less leverage we have. It took thirty years of litigation for the media companies to turn the airwaves from a public trust into their own private property. The internet could go overnight. "Who owns the internet" is not just a political question. Mainly it's decided in the courts, and it affects us profoundly. I spent a lot of time in law school studying the sad history of media consolidation, and along the way met the public interest lawyers who attempt to rein in the companies. As a board member, I would reach out to these people as natural allies. I'm not saying we should bring lawsuits or hire lawyers. We shouldn't. But we can protect our interests by making sure that attorneys know how media consolidation threatens our creative and financial positions, by offering testimonial support and even, on occasion, an amicus brief. Our work is migrating to the internet, that's what our strike was about. We have a real stake in the litigation that is sure to come and I think our voice should be heard. EYES ON THE PRIZE We've been through a lot the last couple of years, and we want to make sure that it brings us more than a $2.00 internet residual check. I think I can help. Because I'm a lawyer, but more importantly because I'm a working writer. I've freelanced and staffed and had pilots made, gotten overalls and been given shows to run, been fired and force majeured. For nearly two decades I've had the privilege of sitting in second rate conference rooms with first rate people, talking and writing about all kinds of amazing things. The fact I was fairly compensated for this I owe to the Guild. It's impossible for me not to have the best interest of this organization at heart. I'll do my very best to build on what this Guild started back in 1933 and what the current leadership continued when they landed us safely on the internet. I'm asking for your vote.

I'm pleased to announce that we have now added Youtube video's to our Millennium Music Guide, courtesy of Youtube's API. You can now instantly watch videos and listen to many of the songs and music profiled in our Music Guide, some of which include live versions. Examples include Patti Smith's Dancing Barefoot, America's A Horse with no Name and of course Love is Blue! Not every song is available and videos will change given the frequent updates people make to Youtube. In many cases, HD versions of the videos exist for improved quality. Its taken a long time to populate the Millennium Music Guide with the best combination of keywords through trial and error, I hope you find it useful and that the feature enhances your use of our music guide to Millennium.

You may already be familiar with our *Millennium Episode Locations Map, upon which we've plotted on top of satellite maps all of the main locations mentioned throughout the 3 seasons of Millennium. I like to keep the map updated when Google adds new features to their Google Maps API, so now you'll find the improved map controls and a useful Search Bar at the bottom left of the page from where you can search locations and get directions, ideal if you are planning a tour. Just click on the magnifying glass and the search box will slide out. I've added the same features to our forum's Member Map, which has the further addition of Google's somewhat controversial but extremely cool and useful Street View facility. What's this got to do with Frank's Yellow House I hear you ask? Well whilst I was busy making these changes, I happened to check the similar Live Maps (Microsoft's mapping facility), and found it now contains 'Birds Eye View' images of the famous Black Family yellow house, long since painted white. You can find these much more detailed aerial shots here, don't forget to zoom in and out and rotate the view around to get a different perspective. * Broken link now repaired.

Earlier this week we published the first in what will hopefully become a series of Millennium themed gadgets for Windows Vista. All versions of Windows Vista feature a Sidebar facility which allows small programs (gadgets, sometimes known as widgets) to run (or be dragged onto the desktop). As far as we know this is the first available gadget for Vista inspired by Chris Carter's Millennium TV series. MLM Ouroborus Countdown is gadget which you can install on Windows Vista's Sidebar, or simply drag and drop it from your sidebar to your desktop. The gadget resembles the familiar Millennium Group welcome log-in screen as seen in the television series and used by Millennium Group members. It features a golden Ouroborus and automatically displays your name and the number of days remaining. Rather than simply displaying the message, "Welcome Frank", the gadget is more personalised and instead displays the name of the current Windows Vista user. NB. The Gadget uses a Windows system value to determine the user's name that comes from the name of the User's folder, that contains their application settings, My Pictures Documents etc. Unfortunately, some computers have Windows pre-installed with a generic user name like User or Owner, instead of it asking for your own personal name when you use the computer for the first time. There isn't much you can do about that for now until the next release of the gadgets which allows full name customisation. MLM Ouroborus Countdown v1.0 features: Millennium Group Ouroborus Personalised - Automatically welcomes the current logged in user! Countdown - Displays the current number of days until December 21st, 2012 (the forthcoming Apocalypse?). Easily customisable countdown date (see instructions). Site Link - Clicking the Ouroborus takes you to our main website at millennium-thisiswhoweare.net Drag and drop from your sidebar to your desktop We hope you enjoy this creation and we look forward to bringing you a series of gadgets featuring your favourite characters from Millennium. Visit the Millennium inspired Windows Vista Sidebar Gadgets category in our forum's download manger to find the first Millennium gadget. Guests (non-registered forum members) are welcome to download the gadget but registered members can rate and add comments to the downloads as well as having access to additional downloads and forums.

TVShowsonDVD have released a fantastic image of the packaging artwork for the region 1 18-disc set of Millennium - The Complete DVD Collection. The region 2 release of this box set of all 67 episodes of Millennium was released back in October 2005. The reason for the delay in getting this box set out for region 1 US consumers is unknown, but the release date is apparently October 28th, making it a great Halloween gift! Fans in our forums have already noted that Amazon.com's specs for the contents of the discs are incorrect, with episodes such as The Judge, 52666 and The Well-Worn Lock seemingly missing from the list, as well as the second season episode 19:19. This is bound to be a snafu and its very unlikely that the actual release will be missing any episodes. The region 1 box set contains the same number of discs as the region 2 release, 18 in total. Perhaps we'll see some new special features in a possible Blu-Ray release one day. Our thanks to David Lambert at TVShowsonDVD.com for the artwork.

Its been a very long time since we got excited about some Millennium DVD release news, since all three seasons of Chris Carter's darkest TV series to date have been available on DVD format for some time. Yesterday however, the excellent TV Shows On DVD reported that Amazon.com had a new complete 3 season box set advertised for pre-order with a release date of October 28th 2008. The excellent price of $49.99 seems to have risen slightly since then, and is at the time of posting now at $51.99 but as Gord Lacey points out, this is a huge saving on the price of separate season box sets for anyone who yet to purchase them or wants to add this to their collection. Details are non-existent at the moment but we at Millennium - This is who we are expect this to be the long awaited region 1 release of the Millennium: The Complete DVD Collection box set that was released on region 2 format in Europe long ago on Monday, October 31, 2005. US based fans of the series were originally disappointed that the full season box set was not available to them at the time. View the original article
