This statement is true on some issues but not on everthing. I think that this issue is one that could effect the decisions of the membership very much within the next few months and therefore it would benefit the IBO very much to try to change the 50/50 to any figure that is in their favor. The forum itself does not represent a very big percentage of the membership but it does give you a small view of what the membership is thinking. Also it can influence the members that participate in the forum and the sport to some degree. If the upcoming changes are to be sold to the membership the first thing that must be done is to get a conseus of the objections and try to overcome them. You can' t sell anything till you overcome the objections. A few people backing the President does not mean that everything is ok. It would seem that nothing worth while has come from the meetings at Snow Shoe and so far the information that has been put on the net was never mentioned by the IBO until the question was raised by a member of the forum. COMMUNICATIONS This is an organization that relly needs to be strong from the bottom up or the results could be less than positive. A mailer to the membership would do more to understand and solve the real problems about the future World Shoot. Solving Snow Shoe Mountain' s problems is in some people' s opinion the smallest part of the problem. With 10 months to go it will take some real leadership to regain all of the people that were unhappy.
