Scott,Definitely a glass 60% full. I would have liked it closer to 70%. It was an online vote and 30 days to vote. I just had someone tell me that they didn't even know a vote was going on. That's a...

I think the leadership learned and will adjust. I think your accusation of bad behavior by the board is way off. Let's move forward and give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

Scott, you assume that more than 60% of the members *care* to participate or follow what's happening in AALL. That isn't realistic. AALL is not a nation-state, a municipality, or a political party....

It was me, not Scott, that made the mention. If you read what the board did, it was very similar to what you mention. A third party surveyed the membership, conducted interviews with a veried range of...

I personally know quite a few people on the board and that's why their behavior was so puzzling in this instance. Clearly you're not interested in my perspective. I can respect that.

Then talk with them. When anonymous comments go out questioning the motives of well intentioned people, I will challenge you. I respect your opinion, but that doesn't mean that I won't challenge it.

Speaking as one of the 40%, I'm totally fine with rebranding but think "ALI" is a terrible choice. So I wasn't going to vote yes, but I was also reluctant to throw my hat in with the more vehement no...

40%, thanks for the comment. That makes sense to me, and gives me a perspective that I hadn't thought of. One of the problems with tossing out a post this close to the results is that you don't have...

Well, I did not say 80%, I said "a significant portion of the 80%." But, why quibble? Neither of us can say what the portion may be. Thus, I suggest that part of the ongoing conversation should be...

You only change a brand when it's in peril, not when the acronym doesn't quite fit anymore. Kudos to the 80% of the members who know that AALL is a strong brand that has eclipsed its acronym much like...
