Fellow Contesters and members of the Contest Coverage Working Group,
Below you will find the wording of the BoD minute regarding the decision to
move line scores to the web. Before you draw any conclusions about anything,
take some time to absorb this. We should also give the BoD and HQ some time to
reflect on the proposal we delivered late last week and to prepare and send
along a response. I think it will be a positive one.
