Dave, you may have a great idea. Perhaps more importantly is that you are starting a dialogue now, with plenty of time for discussion before the ATA AGM in September. I'm not an expert on ATA governance and could be very wrong but I think every resolution I have seen has been brought forward by a local.
That's my shameless plug
for the Greater Edmonton Local meeting this Sunday at 2pm at Lloyd's place. It could be our last meeting before the AGM and would be a good time to have possible resolutions on the agenda.
