Actually Ron… I’m looking at the current CIAM rules proposal to be voted on and this appears to have already been modified.

I tend to be in agreement with Ron on this one. I understand the motivation to remove the word “Current”, as it creates some logistical problems with timing. But they need to replace it with something less open ended, such as “Current, or immediately prior list…” so that the organizers can’t go back 15 years in time to a prior approved list to select a judge they happen to like who may or may not be active and current with the rules and sequences. The changes as proposed give them way too much room to invite just about anyone that has ever been on any list.
