Thanks to all those members who took the time to respond to this issue with their thoughts in such a short amount of time. The response rate was particularly good considering it is something we wanted to address quickly. Your thoughts have been passed on to the directors and will inform their future actions on this subject. It was also been good to see such a consensus on most questions, which only makes ALERC stronger. A summary of the responses is below.
