I was going to begin my reply with the words 'Maybe I am stating the 
obvious...' or 'Forgive me for stating the obvious...' but then it occurred 
to me that since it hasn't been mentioned, maybe it isn't obvious that one 
way of encouraging the Alcor board to discuss your concerns might be to 
threaten to leave. I guess you would have to join CI.

I am with CI so this issue is of no concern to me personally (except insofar 
as it affects the cryonics movement in general).
