	A more diverse collection of commentators, excluding 
entirely the AC and its chairs.  I don't know the specifics 
for serving on the AC, but I'd naively assume that its 
chairs already assume a duty of reviewing the casebook for 
content and to help identify weaknesses in the the 
committees they chair.

	The response might be larger if you could have their names 
printed in a book with reasonable distribution amongst the 
expert bridge playing community, like the ACBL used to offer.
