My point is that AIS isn't losing members because of your good experiences,
but because of something that isn't a good experience.  And celebrating the
good experiences doesn't fix the problems.

Actually, this is the reason I joined AIS - searching for more information,
so I could figure out how to get introductions that would do well here.
 Definitely a problem, but would more widely adapted iris improve AIS as an
organization?  

In other words, is the organization/management a problem or are the iris the
problem or maybe some of both?  Or is it something totally unrelated to
either (people no longer like irises - they have all gotten involved in dog
training, politics, and elder care instead)?
