<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I actively campaigned in NSRCA Dist 1during several
rules cycles </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to get people to take the survey.
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Interestingly, many of the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"non-participants" told me things to the effect
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>of: I don't have time, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or don't choose, or don't feel qualified, to
express my </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>opinion in a survey.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I trust you folks that are doing </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>the rules work to </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>do the right
things.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In some cases at least, it's not that the 80% of
non-participants</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>don't care, it's just that they are happy enough to
let others do the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>work. Still, I'd like to see a much
higher response rate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Given the great majority of us are willing to do
the </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>right things,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>this shouldn't be hard to do. That is,
as soon as we figure out </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>what the "right" things are. Part of that
process results in re-cycling</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of ideas from the last, or older rules
cycles sometimes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey - I got an idea- lets do a survey
!!! <G></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>>... First of all I believe that most of the people who did not vote
failed to vote for reasons other than lack of intrest. What are they?
