I'm going to disagree= with you here, specifically with regards to the "I don't care&quo= t; piece.=C2=A0 From my time in FESCo, and as the FPL before that -- I can = never remember a time when someone abstained because they didn't care.= =C2=A0 I remember people abstaining because they didn't feel it was app= ropriate for them to vote on their own ticket, or they felt uncomfortable f= or whatever reason, but never simply because they didn't care.=C2=A0

Please remember that FESCo members can vote either &= quot;+1" or "0" or "-1" for a particular change.= =C2=A0 I would think voting "0" would be more appropriate for a &= quot;I don't care" vote.=C2=A0 But I still don't see an "= I don't care" vote as a reason to abstain.

In the end voting 0 means "I don't care= " - even more so with this proposal as you are taking yourself out of = the decision process. If you have an opinion in either direction then vote = -1 or +1.=C2=A0=C2=A0
