Furthermore, nothing in my experience would indicate that any dubious increase in efficiency would merit the trade-off against effective and fair representation for the regions. If the Executive Committee does its job, efficiencies will follow. If it does not, efficiencies will not be achieved no matter the size of the Board of Representatives. In terms of further concerns, some may worry about broader representation and more regionalization leading to domination by larger groups. The major reason for optimism is that broader representation allows for fair, equitable representation.
People are content if treated fairly.
If not, they may become increasingly uninvolved, indifferent, or even restive. Groups of members who feel sufficiently under-represented electorally may tend to not vote, vote with their feet, and even vote with their pocketbooks. I hope that I have reasonably outlined the substance of some concerns generated by SAM II and some alternatives to that proposal.
