Allison,
I think you are right in most of what you say. However, I like to see the
whole picture and would like to read exactly what they have in mind. It
seems strange to me that there are no minutes to read on the website
regarding their discussion or voting.
As for Ian, he is only one board member. I would like to hear from the
others on this subject.
