Chuck, I think this is the type of question that should be posted on the ccgtcc.com bulletin board, since it pertains to club business. At least, that's my understanding that the new board was going to use only the club BB for asking & answering such questions. The question should be directed to the appropriate board member(s) responsible for appointing next years' COTY committee chairman who will conduct the contest. That appointment has not been made yet, as far as I know. It may be Archie or may be someone else.

However, for the moment, I would encourage you to give the board some time to settle in, and to handle pressing business like transitioning the bank accounts, wrapping up business & paying bills from the last convention, and selecting a site for next years convention.

By the way, are you still designing any chips that have come out (or will come out) in 1999. Was the $20 "banana" chip your design? (I remember some postings when this $20 chip came out, but don't recall what your involvement was, if any.)
