I started a similar poll before,but time has changed things and I thought since USMS is going to have to do something definitive so they should have some input from the forumites
By the way, before the FINA committee can come to a view, each of the member organizations needs to come to a view. So it may be premature to say we are stuck with USMS's view.

However, FINA, having issued some "purist" statements itself may be happy to hear USMS's view. USMS has to be one of the more powerful member organizations. I guess we have to hear how the other international members weigh in ...
