The desire to be more effective and efficient is a different issue, as the actual existence of an organisation. It does not require LUV to dis-incorporate for it to be more efficient. !!!
More-ever, fundamentally, the notion that LUV will still exist after dis-incorporation is untrue. The activities that are currently carried out by LUV may still carry on, organised by a branch of LA. But there will be no LUV. Its the fundamental definition of LUV's existence that it is an incorporated body. The very existence of a body should be not put into question as a consequence of its desire to be more efficient, specially when its has not been demonstrated that it is unable to survive as it is.
