The newest maps are up

Be very careful about what you support.

WG2
BRTF 4 for SD

I spoke to the I-Team.

They said they still accept comments for WG2 and the new BRTF options.

The sample letters on Spearboard and Bloodydecks

I have been revised to carefully point out WG versus Options.

Trust me guys. I heard enough expletives about the new BRTF option designation to make a sailor blush. This is FUBAR on their part.

Recommendation: Resend the emails to clarify that you are, for SD, supporting WG2 map and BRTF Option 4.

FFFFF, I just sent my letters then I read this.

I just spoke with I-Team Member Kelly Sayce

A Meeting is taking place today for the I-Team Members, they are discussing the issue of any possible confusion between letters supporting:
"Work Group 2 Map Proposal"
or
"BTRF Option 2"

They are well aware of the issue, and have heard from many of our representatives from the Kayak, Spear, Commercial, etc. Community regarding this matter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-A suggestion I made to Kelly was, since the BTRF Options 1 through 4 were created and released Sunday Night, November 1st. - any letter from that date forward should be scrutinized for accuracy.

- Any E-Mail, or letter of support received prior to Nov. 1st. was a support letter for the original "Work Group 2 Map Proposal".
--------------------------------------------------------------------
She will contact me later today after her meeting.

Thanks Billy

A question for Billy V.

Do the people you are talking to really care about the contents of the emails and letters that are being sent in or are they just taking care of the bookkeeping? It would seem to me that if this group really cared about the comments they are receiving, they would read every one carefully to determine the intent of each message.

Maybe I am just too skeptical of the system. Please tell me I am wrong.

There are some members that are very sympathetic to our cause. Your email gives them support and the ammo they need.

If you don't send in an email, they won't stick their neck out for you. If you back them up, they will stick up for us.

I don't know if they read every email personally, I know the Iteam staff summarizes the emails for them sometimes and compiles them.

Personalized emails are always better. Just sending in a forum letter and adding your name is not as good as drafting something your self.

I do know they read a lot of the emails personally. Some of us have gotten personal responses from the MLPA people to emails we have sent in.

Any other questions, go ahead and ask.
