I would encourage those who would like information the subject of
bifurcation to read the two articles in today's ABA newsletter.  They are
more detailed and lengthy than most of the articles in the ABA weekly
missive and cover a lot of the issues now facing the WSBA as they consider
hot to move into the future.  GGG

I don't understand why there is a need for a bifurcated bar. I envision that
all this would do is increase redundancy and more levels of bureaucracy and
of course higher fees.

Subject: Re: [WSBAPT] Survey Questions

This survey also asks if the respondents support bifurcation of the bar.
Upon what information would we base such an opinion?

What usefulness could such a limited survey have, for any of us?

Today the WSBA sent out a survey regarding a bifurcated bar, in light of
recent doings by the Supremes. The issue is how to support the sections like
RPPT if the bar association is bifurcated into essential and non-essential
functions.

The survey asks six questions about bifurcation, including how to fund it.
Question 5 asks if you would be willing to pay more dues to both the
mandatory Bar and the Section if bifurcation takes place. There was only a
"yes" or "no" option and this was the only question directed to supporting a
dues increase to support continued RPPT Section activities. Nothing about be
willing to pay more dues to support the RPPT Section, but limiting dues for
mandatory WSBA. So if one answers "yes" it will appear that you support dues
increases for both the voluntary Section and the mandatory bar.

Following completion of the survey, I contacted a member of the RPPT
Executive Committee to express my concern about the wording of the survey.
They replied that the Section had submitted a draft survey to the WSBA, but
then revised and resubmitted. Instead of sending out the revised survey,
which was intended to glean more detail and provide more options for
answers, the WSBA sent out the original unrevised survey. So even though the
survey says it is from "Executive Committee of RPPT", it was actually sent
out by the WSBA in the more limited form. My take from the response was that
the WSBA ignored the request of Executive Committee to use the revised
survey.

Just reporting the facts. Draw your own conclusions about what is going on
