Danny,
 
I have only been hanging around board members and board rooms for about 3 
decades now so I am kinda new at this;-)  Generally speaking (and feel free to 
correct me) lobbyist type folk involved in persuading board members have a feel 
for how the differing members may be inclined to vote or comment on a subject.*
 
Does't anyone run "book" on these folks so that incliners may be approached and 
tit for tat exchanged in support of positions.  This is not dirty or unclean or 
illegal, it is how business is done.  Clearly Tim has book on the members and 
so must Gomes.  How the hell else could they do their job?  It is the backroom 
and non-openness and transparency that causes filth to remain uncleaned not 
knowledge of another's position.

positions on issues.
My boss used the information routinely to make things move along. (She was 
quite good at it after raising us six kids and keeping the peace at home)

Re:  What board members have indicated a willingness to allow a  registrants 
support group?

Eric,

As you are well aware, we have never once been provided with transcripts of 
these intersessional board meetings, so the views of individual board members 
on this topic are not on the public record.  Keep in mind that several board 
members didn't want any elected at-large director (the choice of a single 
director was described as a compromise position), so it's also likely that some 
board members don't want a registrant constituency either.

Please feel free to write to each board member individually and poll them on 
their position.
