I know of a handful of people that are already planning for the Vancouver Nats in 2006 ... let's hope they happen.
The MAAC board seems to be ignoring it's own directive regarding NATS. I attended a Toronto, MAAC AGM some years ago. At that meeting the Board ruled that a NATS proposal had to be in place by the AGM previous to the year of the event. If such a submission was not in place and approved the event would not be allowed to happen. There are very good reasons for this policy. I know the 2005 NATS was not handled that way.
The 2006 NATS submission should have been made and approved at this years AGM. Was it?. If not I do not understand why we are talking about it now.
