While I recognize that there are certain important issues that will
be dealt with in the DNSO, what if there were other identifiable
issues which were appropriately (according to the Bylaws) initiated
by the AL membership? (I keep wanting to call it a supporting
organization, but that leads to the unfortunate acronym ALSO...) If
it happened that those issues got themselves focussed on (not, of
course, _organized around) before too much more water flows over
the commercial/ non-commercial dam, is it so inconceivable that
the workings of the Elected Board could be substantially influenced
as it comes to consider various SO proposals?
