hi, Interesting exercise. And a useful one if we ever start to have a discussion on ALS voting for Board seats. Is there a chart of which ALS have been active etc.. I think it would be good to see a list that covered issues like: - when accepted to by ralo - active/not active - notification of date informed of inactive status - votes participated in - number of members - representative name - alternate representative (if we have such a notion) Or do we already have something like this and I just have not looked in the right place. As for how each of the ALS organizes itself internally, and the means by which they make decisions regarding ALS stuff, I tend towards subsidiarity. Except of course for the individuals-ALS, their processes for self organization and decision making should be discussed by the RALO generally, though I do think it should be their decision which the RALO vets. avri
