Thank you, Lance, was a good move! congrats. 
The results in numbers of ALS show the urgent need to decertify those ALS that never participated to not have this shameful percentage of participation. 
In reality, I believe we have around 30 ALS that are really participating, so the percentage of participants in such a relevant selection, even if not a good one, at least makes us look less inefficient.
