I see your point, and appreciate your comments.

I am not an umpire working under one of the UIC's - I am the UIC, and will not (after your pointing out of the potential conflict) work under one of the other local UIC's after accepting this position. I do intend to unite the umpires under one umbrella if possible.

Your comment: "You also need to understand the the commissioner also serves the leagues and teams, not just the officials. If they perceive a bias toward the umpires, that team/league/whatever may be searching for a new sanctioning body or try to find a way to unseat the present commissioner."

What should I avoid that may lead teams / leagues to perceive a bias toward umpires.
