Can I be blunt?

The NGB meeting minutes obviously discuss the issue of referee problems but all the motions to correct such action failed. If you had/have a refereeing issue I do not see where this is corrected.

All over the NGB they mention the lack of lifters in the open class. Again I do not see the vision that corrects this. Raw lifting? Sure it might help some ground roots recruitment (and be against IPF rules) but I seriously doubt that this will improve on the number of open lifters withint he USAPL who could hit the qualifying numbers for nationals.

From my prospective look back the past 5 years and you can see who has gone to Nationals before. Go back and recruit those guys heavily. Put some hype back into this meet (when bench nationals gets more forum time somthing is the matter).

Personally with Ukraine and Russia not competing as the next worlds this was the time to have your biggest meet and put your best team forth.
