Re: California District Proposal, Rev 2

Assumptions:

Don't want to make any, in that there could be the perception of some rivalry between N and S. There is none, to be clear.

Making this work (the District Model) within the existing complexities would be helpful were there a consortium, within North, who would be willing to jump into the thing and experiment, whilst south steps up and participates in some of the events to get a handle on what must be done. And be a part of planning, if only to observe. It may take a couple of game cycles to get data from teams and analyze behavior and movement of teams between venues, and see what kind of success there is with actually booking venues for our purposes. The Reluctant Administrator Syndrome. (bless you those Administrators for getting behind us to push our Differentiated education!)

Does North have an organization that can pull this together in the next year or two? * South does not, to my knowledge. We have a lot of very good stuff, we keep a lot of balls juggled, but to be honest, it's not cohesive in such a way as to pull off this District thing in the existing or prospective environment.

* I do not wish to put pressure on teams or individuals by asking-merely an honest assessment of the Status Quo.
