Problem is it will probably brought for a vote at the next AGM where it will be defeated since the 50 LIRs who attend probably won't want their vote diluted by the unwashed masses.
I think you may misunderstand. There is some enthusiasm for changing the voting process, at least for the executive board (which is what the paper at the last meeting concentrated on), and especially among those who attend the General Meetings because if there are several candidates with some support standing for two open board seats, the election process can take a couple of hours of sitting in a room for round after round of voting. If you think the GMs are 'smoky room' affairs with everyone of one mind to get their drinking buddies in, let me assure you it isn't that way. That isn't to say, of course, that 50 people should be representing 5,000. See my presentation at last July's APM meeting, Hank. :) Rob
