This is a big enough issue that a "wait and see" approach is not appropriate.
Perception counts for a lot. Asking what FIRST is doing this year to improve the situation or talking about possible solutions is great. It's constructive. It helps the community and FIRST reach an acceptable plan to address the situation.

Starting the thread with "FIRST fails to address..." Is not constructive. It gives a negative image on something that, simply put, we don't know yet. We don't know what FIRST has done to improve things over last year. All we have is a single document that doesn't list any more information that it did last year.

I'm not advocating a "wait and see" approach - discuss the possible solutions and contact FIRST to let them know of your concrns and what you would like to see done to address them. That's not "wait and see". However, before we start heaping blame on FIRST, we should actually know that they are deserving of blame. And at this point in time, we simply don't know what FIRST has done to address the situation.
