Seems like MAAC is doing the responsible thing here and that the members are following the requests in order to maintain the trust between MAAC and the government agency!
Looks like a good model to emulate to me.
Sounds to me like MAAC is using common sense on how to deal with an identified problem. I see too many organizations that resort to finger pointing and blaming every one else for said problem rather than trying to resolve the problem. Have to give the powers that be, as well as the membership, some serious credit for working together with the government agencies required to solve whatever problem they have. I have to agree with jcmors. The AMA needs to watch what MAAC's doing and try to learn from it, if they can
