Dear ras-ers,

I took some time last week to send a response on the Future
Restructuring Task Force final report and appendices to the task force
members and a couple of the folks on the executive committee.

I thought that the report was realistic and thoughtful and reflected a
lot of work. I'm satisfied with the work and the recommendations. (I
do believe that it should have explicitly addressed the governance
authority of the Board over the executive director; and felt that the
appendix on SSA mag was probably more prescriptive than necessary.)

It was a surprise to get a reply from one of the 8 FRTF members saying
that the task force had had ZERO (please excuse the shout) responses
from anyone else in SSA. It is not like us to be silent.

I am curious. Does this silence mean that:
A. SSA-ers are uniformly pleased with the wise and thoughtful
recommendations of the task force;
B, No one cares;
C. SSA-ers are too busy finishing out the season to read;
D. Altitude hypoxia has created a universal reading dyslexia amongst
soaring pilots.

Oh, wait; if you are reading this and comprehending it, D must be
false...
