  I'm not clear on what costs/reimbursements are anticipated by SC's.  =
Other than voluteered time, I was not expecting any costs (or any =
reimbursements).  If you are
  referring to things like printing optional sector-specific handouts, =
and the like, wouldn't that be covered by the anticipated $10 sector =
fee?  Also, I am wondering what happens when say $400 is collected in =
sector fees, and 0-$100 is spent -- where does the remainder go?

    Hi Brad ... here are some answers as I understand them ...

    "fee has been decided for even the National side" - no, still under =
discussion.  If everyone can live with the $10 for the Sector fee, I say =
let's set it at that!

    "route has been finalized ( guilty here as well in Virginia )" - no, =
that is up the the SC's, and about half of the SC's have not given me =
feedback on their route as of yet.  This does not concern me too much =
right now, but should be decided by the end of the month.  What does =
concern me is that if an SC has not looked at their route and need an =
extra day, THAT causes a problem for EVERYONE downstream, and should be =
avoided.

    The one difficulty is where we do not have a few SC's in place.  =
Wisconsin is close to having one.  Indiana, I think we will by pass as =
there is no interest.  Toronto, I think we are now close.  Dallas and =
Oklahoma - not close - have sent out a couple of e-mails to the SC/ASC =
group and have had ZERO response - I have decided that ZERO response =
means "DON'T CARE" and will make the decision myself.  That only leaves =
Carolinas and I have some feelers out but no definitive response.


    "total of participants by sector has been mentioned" - the number of =
individuals participating in each sector is dependant upon how well we =
do our PR.  We probably won't have a good idea until say end of March =
(or even later in some Sectors).  One of the keys at this point is =
registration, and we are working on a methodology now.

    "decision on who can participate has been finalized" - I think we're =
close - I'll try to put together a policy for review by the end of the =
weekend.

    "process has been developed on how the  SC's get reimbursed should =
we/they cover some of the costs up front" - that is up to the SC's and =
how they work their Sector finances.  There is no seed fund at a Tour =
level.

    "While the ideas of emblems and badges and the sort are nice - We =
have got to solidify some of these MAJOR issues here first - or the need =
for these other details will obviously not be needed." - you are spot =
on.  But also we should not stifle the ideas on the small issues either.

    Brad these type of comments are good and I would encourage all to be =
outspoken.  There are a few items that are behind where I would like to =
see them too.  There is always a last minute rush on volunteer type =
organizations, and I personally hate that part and want to avoid it as =
much as possible.

    Team,

    Not to be a pessimist - but I agree with Mike 100% and I have to ask =
, Bob - In reference to you r comments below, are there ANY details that =
have been decided on FIRMLY - seriously:

     I don't think a:

    1.  fee has been decided for even the National side
    2.  route has been finalized ( guilty here as well in Virginia )=20
    3.  total of participants by sector has been mentioned
    4.  decision on who can participate has been finalized
    5.  process has been developed on how the  SC's get reimbursed =
should we/they cover some of the costs up front

    Among others.....

    While the ideas of emblems and badges and the sort are nice - We =
have got to solidify some of these MAJOR issues here first - or the need =
for these other details will obviously not be needed.=20

    DIRECTION/DECISIONS FROM THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS REQUIRED ASAP

    Sorry about being so frank but it is the jist of what Mike was =
talking about.....
