Bill,

With all due respect, you have it bass-ackwards.

It's not your job to change my mind. It is my job to persuade you (a
director) to follow the wishes of me (the member).

You are ONE member. You did take the survey I presume?

Cheers,
Bill K2UNK

To his credit, Hans did take the survey and I'm sure that his views were
consistent with what he expresses here.

However, as Bill points out above, and I have pointed out in a separate
message, Hans is but one of thousands of NCI members, and the views he has
expressed are in an extreme minority.

Once again, it would be irresponsible for the NCI Board of Directors to
ignore the wishes of the vast majority of our membership in favor of
honoring Hans' wishes - though we certainly did listen to and consider his
views, and some of the NCI Directors even had lengthily e-mail discussions
with him.
