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?

I can see two sides of the coin when it comes to online registration...
Being that there is a lot of back end infrastructure in place, it appears to be more practical and feasible to utilize our own system, especially considering the complexities of registrations being handled on LMSC level.
On the flipside, associating with some of the cross-sport companies may give us some exposure in a non-swimmer and potential swimmer world, which is to our benefit in getting wider name recognition.
Personally, on my team we have used active.com, and we've designed an in-house online entry system for one of our zone meets. They both have their pro's and con's.
I like the flexibility our own system may offer, and I like the time effectiveness of a third party service.
