Just to clarify, my discomfort is not so much with the MARA plan
itself (I don't feel strongly one way or the other), but with the
way it's being presented, and particularly with the letter that
Starr is proposing to send out, because as far as I understand the
situation, the letter itself contains false statements about the
LP dues and UMP changes.
Can someone confirm or deny these two points, which I believe to
be true?
1. LP dues go to zero as of January, not immediately.
2. UMP payments to the LPC continue for 6 months, through March.

At this time I have seen comments on this proposal only from
Starchild and from Justin. Therefore, I am asking the ExCom to
vote on whether LPSF should get in on the first round of
announcement letters or not. If I do not hear from the other
three ExCom members, we will discuss this subject at our next
meeting, and see if then the membership present can come to a
decision.I have been forwarding all the pertinent information I have
received from LPCA to this list. In summary, the way I see it:
Current UMP's will phase out at Oct 1, if you want to renew at
$25 you need to pay before then, LPSF can sign the LPCA
agreement by Sat Sep 3 noon and get in on the mailings advising
members of this situation or not, LPSF can sign the agreement at
a later time or not at all, LPSF can opt out of the agreement at
a later date or continue the relationship.If LPSF does not wish to sign the LPCA agreement at all, LPSF
will have to operate as a stand alone entity, keeping its own
database, performing its own membership outreach and retention,
raising its own operating funds.I vote to sign the agreement before the due date of Sep 3.
