They are critical partners to us in this effort, in this effort to modernize how we do this and also to ensure a robust and ongoing successful combined federal campaign. I think two very legitimate concerns is if we consolidate this at the national level, all of a sudden you're going to start potentially making federal decisions in terms of local charities, in terms of who can be included in the donations and that type of thing. So that's a concern. I think the other concern, too, is the upfront fee as opposed to a variable fee, so that potentially smaller charities just won't be able to necessarily participate in the program. (06:18–06:33)
