[ALAC] Modification of statement submitted regarding At-Large Director Bylaws

[Alan Greenberg]

Cheryl, with so many things going on related to the selection 
process, perhaps there is a misunderstanding here. My added 
suggestion was to the comment on the proposed Bylaw amendments that I 
submitted (on my own behalf, although later supported by a number of 
ALAC and RALO people). It is not directly linked to our Rule of 
Procedure 27 and requires no action by the ALAC.
