I think I clarified this in an earlier message. You are interpreting my
point to mean that I think ALL MAG members must be rotated now, as a
matter of application of the 1/3 rule. That is not my position. My
position is that the IGC has the duty and the right to put on its new
list only those people who it wants added to MAG. That may include no
existing members, all existing members or somewhere in between.

It should be obvious. A list without any current members would happen
ONLY if a large number of people here were strongly dissatisfied with
the performance of the current MAG representatives.
