The problem for Rod, as I see it, is that communications may be his downfall.
The vast majority of the membership don't keep close tabs on here, or the AOA forums.
People have already remarked to me that there is nigh-on nothing to show from his chair, and have been kept under a rock, so they have limited knowledge as to why he and his team haven't delivered.
Those a little more involved know more, and that he has a brick wall in front of him. But, from a results-based perspective (read 'layperson/laymember"), there is nothing to show from him, and no information to explain.
