[NA-Discuss] Comment on Consumer Trust Position

The position was created at the same time as Allen Grogan was 
appointed to the role of Chief Contract Compliance Officer in October 
2014 (a position he has just announced he will be leaving). For 
whatever reasons, it was never filled. Although we have asked before, 
this is the first time we have had an opportunity to comment on the 
actual description. We had been asked to suggest aspects that should 
be included in it earlier, but I don't believe that anyone took them 
up on that.

I am confused by your reference to "the ALS". Do you mean the ALAC?
