The IDL is not setup in such a way, though the IDL Board is designed to represent the player base.<br /><br />I think that people who don&#039;t currently play in the IDL should have a &quot;say&quot;, in that I openly encourage them to express their opinions. With that said, I think that those who don&#039;t play have less of a voice compared to those that actively play season after season. Players who have played the last 8 seasons and sit for a season should still have a say as well. <br /><br />I don&#039;t personally think that non-players should spend time representing active players on the IDL Board, however that does not mean I think they are incapable of doing it right. My only issue with this is that non-players tend to become relatively more inactive than those who are still on active rosters. The plus side is that they will often have much less conflict of interest.
