Wild:

When I refer to a conservative, or ultra-conservative approach, that implies that is it non-confrontational. I am trying to construct a "civilized" framework by which ISM management can address the major issues associated with ISM after the members of the forum have "short-listed" their issues through dialogue and discussion. Again, this approach, conceptual in nature, is subject to the scrutiny of this forum, its members, and anyone else that has constructive input.

I am asking Whaler for his endorsement as I would see him as the person to moderate and direct the survey/ISM shareholder interaction. At some point we would have to trust somebody, and I am thinking that should be Whaler. Again, that point is here to be scrutinized and decided by members of this forum. I am simply looking for a way to move forward and come to "meeting of the minds" between ISM Management and ISM shareholders.

Respectfully,
