From now on when we demand to see the survey results, we need to caveat that with the demand that the survey be conducted--and data compiled, analyzed, and released-- by a third party vendor with an irreproachable reputation. Without any interference from DALPA.
It will cost some money. I'm fine with that. I'd rather have our dues money spent on transparency than on Dalpa's self-serving propaganda.
This is an excellent point. Chances are we would get cherry-picked data presented in a way to lead us to the conclusion THEY want us to reach, just like we did with C2012.
But if we're to the point that we have to hire an outside party to audit and verify what DALPA is doing... which by extension means we don't trust DALPA... then tell me again why we accept representation like that in the first place? If I had someone representing me (like say, a lawyer or something) and I reached the conclusion that I couldn't trust them anymore, I would fire their @ss and replace them with someone I
could trust. I wouldn't be wasting time and money on having someone else look over their shoulder. No trust? No deal... I simply don't do business with you.
