hey up,

this is the last one. pulling together all the stuff from my previous
messages that you can check out at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/upc-international/messages

it builds on the rules rachel proposed in her first emails and the
principles from my first email. in brief, i think we want:

* to make a selection that, in the opinion of the selectors, maximises the
benefits for nz ultimate through increasing the skills of the domestic
player base, and encouraging players to stay in/take up the game. and,

* to make that selection through a process that is clear and transparent,
simple, and rationally defensible.

because of the length of this thing and the complexity of formatting, i have
attached the proposed rules as an rtf document (any word processor should
open it: and it also has the beauty of being smaller than a word doc). i
have also uploaded it to the yahoo groups website
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/upc-international/files)

feedback is welcomed. nay, actively encouraged. to be useful, though, i
think it best if we frame our debate in terms of what is already in this
document (things you want changed, things you want added, things you love).
i.e., we should use this document as a starting point.

that's it. i am done.

hope you are all playing nice,
