For those of us who did not attend but have an interest, could a few of you who di attend give us some bullet points as to what took place?
Frank has psoted a few things relative to debates on this forum which I want to thank him for. But lacking the patience to go and read back thru the minutes, would love to hear what the high (low) points we're?

Paul,
Previously in the rulebook, the fees for nationals were stated. That rule was changed so that it is left up to the championship committee to decide the rates and the House of Delegates to approve them.
Starting in 2006, the surcharge for nationals is $40, the individual event fees are $4 and relays are $12.
In the future we want to move to a tiered payment system where registering early for nationals gets you a lower surcharge. The longer you wait, the higher the surcharge. This is similiar to what is often done in triathlon and open water races. Going along with this would be the ability to register early and change your events up until the end of the registration deadline. This functionality is being added to our online registration software for Worlds and we hope to incorporate it into national championships next year.
