Tony Sisk, Churchill Residential, Irving, Texas Mr. Sisk stated he submitted written comments on the QAP that were on an outdated version of the QAP and he respectfully rescinded every comment he made. Jim Shearer, Capital Consultants, Austin, Texas Mr. Shearer discussed forward commitments and earlier in the year he proposed an aggressive forward commitment plan to deal with the many problems of the allocation realm. After hearing 4 many public comments requesting forward commitments, the Board decided to do no forward commitments and he suggested that the Board reconsider this decision.
