[NEIL BERCH]

No knowledge at all about the substance of this, but kudos to President Patrice and the EC for the transparency (even posting the roll call vote!).

  Subject: [eDebate] Eligibility Exception for Spring 2008


  This post announces an action taken by the Executive Committee at the  
  NCA meeting.  For the Spring term and for CEDA Nats, we are making a  
  temporary waiver to our eligibility rules.  For Spring 2008 and 2008  
  CEDA Nats only:

  1) If a student has received their bachelor's degree in Fall 2007; and
  2) If the student received that degree in less than 4 years of  
  academic study; and
  3) If the student remains otherwise eligible (e.g . the school can  
  verify that the student is enrolled in good standing, etc.)

  that student will be eligible to accumulate CEDA points and attend  
  CEDA Nationals.

  This action was deemed an exigent circumstance because the Committee  
  anticipates putting an amendment forward on this issue this year and  
  determined that any student in this situation this year should not be  
  denied the right to compete while legislation is put forward for the  
  entire community to decide.

  If a student meets the requirements for this limited waiver, please  
  let me know by January 1, 2008.

  The EC vote was as follows:

  Yes
  Patrice - President
  Eliott - 1st VP
  Stables - 2nd VP
  Steinberg - 1st Former President
  Sandoz - Most recent available Former President
  Dillard - SEC
  Rubino - NE
  Galloway - Proxy for Silber SE
  Buescher - NW
  Kephart - Southern Cal

  No
  Walters - Proxy for MA

  Abstain
  Jarman
