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?
Apparently the registration folks might have online registrations this year.
Something that USA Triathlon figured out 6 years ago which has subsequently led to the highest registration numbers ever for that organization.
It seems like we are trying to reinvent the wheel by designing software, getting our own merchant account, and other things when there are already several companies who do this as their business.
Right off the top of my head.

Any of these companies could handle registration very easily. Our triathlon club uses lin-mark and it couldn't be simpler. The usatriathlon federation uses timberline timing. I hope that our registration committee will both to call usatriathlon and ask how they make it work. Or the US cycling federation for that matter.
We've got a great opportunity to get more members of USMS, it seems to be going to waste. We also seem to be ready spend a fair bit of money building a transaction backend that is unnecessary.
