Others have not, probably not realizing that they could.<BR/><BR/>Reminding applicants that they have the right to address the ICOC in person or by letter and offering guidelines on how to do so will benefit everyone.<BR/><BR/>Posting any letters well before a meeting will ensure that the process is completely transparent.<BR/><BR/>John M.
