    <p>HI Joly,</p>
    <p>I understand your concerns, but under our current rules those are
      not good reasons not to approve an ALS.  It is for those reasons
      why we are working to draw up new metrics and new requirements for
      all ALSes. Until these are passed the old system is still in
      place. For all those interested in improving the metrics and what
      should be the basic requirements to become an ALS I encourage
      everyone to join this committee that is working to restructure
      what it means to be an ALS. This Task Force could use some NARALO
      members as only Glenn McKnight is on this task force.  The Task
      Force is called At-Large ALS Criteria and Expectations and can be
      found here.
