Eric,

Thank you for such a wonderful positive description of the process. I 
am sure it will lead to much more participation and volunteer 
activity, after all, who doesn't want to travel?

I am particularly pleased to see that you have so many creative 
suggestions for alternative ways for choosing our leadership. Keep it 
coming!

Ole
