Fixed/Float/Trust/Points/ ownership basis?

After the discussion was started about RCI removing unit numbers from confirmations and, since there's been a lot of change in how ownership and/or reservations can be made, I thought I'd start a poll to see what the mix of different ownerships is for TS4M's memebers.

For the sake of the poll, I would consider any fixed week that has been placed into a points based reservations system, either thru the developer or thru an exchange company, as no longer being a fixed week. It seems to be that once you give up a fixed week for points, then the system can do with that week whatever it chooses.

I would also think that going with how the week is set up now, rather than how it was originally set up at time of purchase would make more sense. For instance, I own a fixed week/fixed unit timeshare but, we've joined an internal points based reservation system and that week is given up for points each year, making it a points based reservations weeks for all intents and purposes. Thus, my choices in the poll won't reflect that I own a fixed week.

So far, it appears as if weeks that would be considered a float type of ownership out number the older style fixed owenrships by a reasonalbly large margin. Unfortunately these numbers, as of this writing, are only based on 8 members voting. That's a pretty small sample of TS4M's members and nothing I'd really hang my hat on.
