<p dir="ltr">Thank you Stephen for the explanation in absence of rationale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So much for the legal  recommendation to have at least one member under the Law of California.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Look forward to the simpler  compromise model that should be somewhere between (less than)  one member and (more than just)  enforceable arbitration, if I got the picture right. <br></p>
