The notion that a petition process supported by multiple RALOs would be taken as a mark of disrespect to the committee and its work is groundless. A committee would have to have a rarified view of itself and its own importance to think anything like that, and I am sure that isn't the case with the committee in question.

The petition process just adds to the transparent and open flavor of ALAC.  And perhaps it is a tad "mavericky" which is ALAC's birthright after all. :-)

I must agree. Petitions are a part of the process, and not without reason. A successful petition shows that the system works, not that it's broken. ~Chris
