Controversy, what controversy? It's official gang. A sounding defeat for the clowns insisting that there is no problem.
A few questions asked, and maybe a few answered, that is really all the BRCCP ever wanted to begin with. Remember back when asking anything about the for-profit camps would be met with disdain and contempt? Ha, right back at ya, you sell-outs. And now the official BM is validating the BRCCP position, posting those same questions. Can we expect apologies and salutations from those who did not think there were any questions worth asking, and never wanted any answers? Doubtful, they couldn't see an obvious problem, they sure aren't self-aware enough to check themselves.

Turnkey Camps: Moving Towards Effective Solutions
Posted by Burning Man
We are aware that many of you are waiting for a response to a number of questions concerning theme camps, turnkey camps, placement of camps, access to tickets, decommodification and a potential erosion of our culture.
These are some of the questions members of our community have raised:
Is the Burning Man organization profiting off turnkey camps?
How did turnkey camps get all their tickets?
Do turnkey camps get preferential treatment?
Were people buying blocks of tickets through the Burning Man Project donation ticket program in the days before the event? If so, why?
Are turnkey camps undermining the practice of Decommodification and Self-Reliance?
What is going to happen to the turnkey camps going forward? Is there accountability for poor behavior?
The importance of these questions requires collaboration and input from a wide variety of people including staff, theme camp leaders, artists, Regional Network leaders, turnkey camp producers, and participants. We are still gathering information and identifying the most effective solutions.
We assure you we are listening and discussing real reforms.
