Peter, 

Given a chance, there would be thousands of members.  However, 
since the BoD and NC have shot down every attempt at formation, 
people are now reluctant to do much until there is an indication 
that the Board will, in fact, approve one.  There has been no such 
indication and the chicen and egg routine continues.

It appears rather obvious that it is a similar attitude as that 
regarding the at-large.  The BoD doesn't want that "for real" 
participation and has put as many stumbling blocks as possible in 
its way.  The IDNHC is even worse.  Even with self formation it has 
been shot down time after time.  The climate is one of 
discouragement.

IMO, the NC should fully endorse the formation of this constituency 
and then people would set out to self form again.
