Hi Bruce,

Then answer the following question: How far can ICCA go before *you* say 'enough
is enough'?

If 90% of the programs doesn't show up, because they say this rule change is at
their disadvantage, the rule have to be changed back again. THAT is the
objective. Not to make this a '4 program event', but the event it used to be
some weeks ago.

Besides, we are not the only ones who are angry. Furthermore, I like to ACT when
such things happen. Sit down and do nothing has never led to improvements or bad
mistakes being changed back.
