Hello everyone,
I've been hearing some very unsettling information from a very reliable source about ALA's AA registration becoming a lottery system for this coming convention (ALA 2011). This means we will not be in control of whether or not we get in by registering as early as possible. It also means that it will be much more difficult for us to be in AA with our friends or in groups. I have started a petition which gives more information here:
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/nolottery4ala/ In hopes of getting the attention of ALA staff to hopefully at least put off this concept for ALA 2012 and to give more than a few months notice before the convention.
If you feel the same way please sign it. The petition will not show your e-mail, in case you're worried about that; it only shows your name.
Thank you for your time.
