I'm MORE than confused...

This morning I found an email from DRI, rebutting what I received in the mail from my Poly I HOA Board. I don't know WHO to believe, and I'm not sure now what we should be doing over there! I did already sign and return my proxy to my Board last week; haven't actually received anything in the mail from DRI to sign and return (though they are encouraging me in their email to print out the proxy attachment--not pasted below, for brevity--and fill out and fax back to them, or fill out online). Here is their email to me:
"Dear Polynesian I Resort Owner,
By now you have received notice that your Board of Directors has called a Special Meeting of the Owners and is asking you to terminate your management agreement with Diamond Resorts Management, Inc. The mailing and follow-up email your Board sent you includes inaccurate information and omits other important facts, the most important of which is that a change in management could cost you more than $600 per week in maintenance fees this year and put you at risk of a special assessment. Before you make a decision, you need to know:
Diamond has not increased fees in over seven years and has agreed to keep its management fees the same for at least the next three years. But your Board—who are the only three people that can increase your fees—want you to give them the power to change management companies—a change that could increase your management fees by $40 per week immediately.
Diamond is not responsible for the decrease in RCI scores. Since Diamond brought in a new resort manager late last summer, your current RCI scores are tracking well above Gold Crown status.
Diamond is an owner just like you and owns 15% of the inventory at Polynesian Isles I. This means that for every dollar in maintenance fees collected or spent, Diamond’s share is 15 cents. Diamond thinks like an owner and wants you to have a memorable vacation experience at a quality resort for a reasonable price.
Sometimes owners cannot make their maintenance fee payments and delinquent accounts result, especially now in these economically difficult times. It is ridiculous to think that Diamond can control this.
Instead, Diamond assumes responsibility for carrying these delinquent owners off of your shoulders and pays 100% of these fees and the costs incurred to either recover the fees or recover the inventory. This process takes years. In 2009 alone, Diamond will relieve you from paying almost an additional $163 per week in delinquent fees.
Recovery fees would cost you more than $400 per week for the same services you are receiving from Diamond for free. Under management by Diamond, you are assured to be 100% collected each year. We are told that SPM does not offer this service. Currently more than 30% of your fellow owners are delinquent. Without Diamond’s assistance, you will be required to increase your operating budget to include these delinquent fees.
Please carefully review the attached proxy immediately. We are asking you to appoint Linda Riddle to vote your proxy. Your signed, dated proxy must be returned no later than April 4, 2009. If you do not want to wait to receive your materials in the mail, you may return this proxy 1) by email of a scanned or pdf copy of this proxy to
polyproxy@smartinfo.us; or 2) by facsimile to (610) 683-5616. Or you can complete this proxy online at:

I am confused over who is right and who is wrong; I want my timeshare week to be safe and sound and not end up costing me thousands of dollars to own, in the future. I don't know enough about anything at this point to make an intelligent decision, and I can't leave town for Florida (especially in such a short timeframe!!) to investigate to get to the bottom of this. I'm pretty sad about it all right now...I wish I had an unbiased, totally on the ball in-the-know advocate here...{{{{sigh}}}}
