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

The thing to think about when considering the votes of the international masters community is that I believe (not 100% sure but pretty sure) that USMS is the only major masters governing body that is independent of the elite national governing body. We tend to go the same direction as USA-S but we don't have to hence the discussion we're having here. So basically the same organizations that voted for the elite suit ban from other parts of the world are voting the same way on masters because, well, the boss told them to.That's how I read the situation anyways.
