Changes will be made to take into account comments that have been made since the proposal was published. The Board plans for the new fees to take effect in July 2019, to give adequate time for communication with members.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);" class="">Best Regards,</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);" class="">Christian D.
