[NA-Discuss] A second ALAC selection process

[Darlene Thompson]

I have been following this thread and I agree with Judith.  I have not yet
seen a good enough reason to deny a competitive and open process.

I am going to try to be at the meeting this afternoon but I am not sure if
I can be there.  As such, I would like this to stand as my objection to
this fast-tracking process. There is already way too much in the way the
NARALO works in "friends" getting shuffled from position to position to
keep them going to meetings.  This needs to be an open and competitive
process - both for our own good and for other RALO's perception of us.
