> Just over 1 week into the polling and the initial rush has died  
> down. This is pretty typical of polls, with those having the  
> strongest interest jumping in. We now need a push to gather the next  
> significant number of participants. If you know of someone, member  
> or not, ask them to give us a moment of their time to respond. If  
> they are indifferent, it is important they respond as such. We have  
> also been going over the membership numbers and eliminating any  
> irregularities. For example, there are a lot of people with  
> outstanding suspended membership months due to mailings from  
> Milpitas being returned. Unless these are pretty recent they don't  
> count towards our total. (some are from as old as 2001). The numbers  
> so far are thus: The percentage of members responding is now stuck  
> at about 31%. If it stays here it means that a full 70% of the  
> members do not really care a whit about the process and it will die  
> where it lays. If people are AGAINST this process they can say that  
> and it will equally die for the present. The ratio of members to  
> non-members is 4 to 1. Is this the norm or are there a ton of  
> non-members who don't know they can respond or just don't care? From  
> a branch perspective the numbers are: Appledore 50% / Cae Mor 0% /  
> Coill Mohr 31% / Danescombe 30 % / False Isle 80 % / Fjordland 40% /  
> Hartwood 52% / Krakafjord 27% / Lions Gate 34% / Lionsdale 35% /  
> Ramsgaard 63% / Seagirt 22% / Shittemwoode 14% / Tir Bannog 0%.  To  
> have validity the poll REQUIRES a minimum of 51% of the members. But  
> unless such a poll is overwhelming in one direction or the other a  
> small return like that will usually convey the message that Tir  
> Righ, as a whole, is not ready to proceed down this road.
