Ok....stop the madness....this has been a great discussion on a great proposal. Let's not turn this into another personal grudge match on the forums.
From my perspective: We have been asked to discuss and support a good idea. Based on the discussion, a lot of folks have raised some valid issues. One being whether we can ammend the proposal and still have it go into affect this year....that question has been answered...we can.
This is a very good thing all the way around. I totally agree with Doug in that if the 14U choice is included then this concept will pass with flying colors.
