I have to admit that I think promoting Baldman's stuff in the same breath as excusing the staff of hyperengaged volunteers was a massive misstep. It's lead to all kinds of confusion already (players thinking BMG is taking over AL, is replacing AL, etc.). Mostly because makes the reader might think that the AP is now going to fulfill the role that RCs and LCs had. I think the AL really needs to message, explicitly, what things haven't changed, that:
* Adventures will still be published on the DM's Guild
* How to get Fai Chen's and other support at your convention
* Who will be performing the non-store-related roles of the RCs/LCs (Facebook moderation, blog posts, FAQ grooming, etc.)
* Who to contact with questions
Although most of these things haven't changed, it's likely that most folks won't be well versed in how they officially worked, since they all relied so heavily on RCs & LCs.
I think we also need some assurance that the AL remains a priority, despite some of the admins having roles in both organizations. There's probably also some room to address how the AL intends to avoid potential conflicts of interest when some of the leadership are involved in both orgs.
