I have no problem with providing demographic information to FIRST, which has traditionally been done with the survey at year's end. I understand that this information is very usefull to them, there just isn't any reason for us to be required to give it to the judges. Besides, it's easy enough for the judges to look and see what the percentage of minorities is
