<p class="MsoNormal">Hmmm. I do not like the emphasis of offices etc having to be employed by a promoter. Why not allow other types of members to become officers. Is this a control issue for those who are promoters? I mean we should have the most capable person
available and if this is from one of the educational institutions or some other class of member then I think that is fine as well.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
