Hi,

I have a question: as the chair of NARALO, has NARALO made such a statement yet?

Also I think it is a long stretch from the evidence that the ALAC did not take an issue that you, and the NYT, think is of primary important to the conclusion that ALAC is incapable of carrying out its mission.  As you are one of the leaders of ALAC, I wonder whether taking the journalists approach is the right approach.

I have been asked by one of the publications I write for to put together a story about what's going on here, and I believe I have no other choice, in fact, am obligated as a journalist to cite ALAC's failure to raise this issue sooner (or at all).
