According to LH management in a roundtable event, the HON Circle management initially was designed for 2'500 to 3'000 members.
500 CCR holders? That somehow feels on the low side, doesn't it? I have no scientific knowledge behind it but that feels low.

Not necessarily wishing to 're-open' the "how many x card holders are there", I seem to recall that a number 70k has talked about for Gold and 4,500 for GGL. I suspect that many GGL would be 'mega flyers' and not just 'just' make it and that therefore there would be more than 500 CCR?

We know we have at least 10 - 20 active on here (again, not done research but I can name 6 that I have met) and I was expecting the CCR 'peerage' to be less exclusive than 500.
