I am interested if anyone could shed some light on citizenship/resident requirements in relation to National/USMS relay records. Is it possible for a record setting relay with one or more members of that relay, not being a US citizen(s) or even a resident(s), to be recognized as such?

If you are really serious about this get a rules change proposal completed at once. I don't know if you are going to attend the convention like you did in 2003 in San Diego, and I know Mr. Goodsmith will probably not attend either. Get with your delegates from your LMSC. I remember you wanted to get a SCM National meet set up and you went to the convention in 2003 to get the delegates to approve this. Get Cindy Hawkinson to submit this for your LMSC if you are not going. Like I said in my prior post if you can convince USMS delegates having separate records and show HOW USMS would gain from this, than I am sure it has a chance to pass.
I know the timeline has expired to get a rules change to Leo and his committee but if you and Mr. Goodsmith really fell passionate about this especially with the 2006 Masters World Swimming Championships coming up, NOW is the time to put in the proposal. You will probably have to introduce this in the rules committee meeting and see if the committee wants to take this on. Its worth a try.
