Hard to square the "they're not being transparent" calls on this thread with the availability of presentations like
this one, dating back nearly three years, that show clear efforts to present plans and gather feedback.
Oh, and what about this blog entry? Here's a task force, a majority of whom are out in the field, looking at champs eligibility.

Longer-Term Changes
To get serious now. While changes for 2015 Championship eligibility were easy for us, we see a problem on the horizon. We project that within a few years, our current system of Championship eligibility for Regionals will result in an overbooked situation. The task force continues to work on longer-term changes, and will release information on eligibility for later Championships by the end of October. You should know, though, that for us to ensure we don’t exceed our Championship capacity in later years, we will likely need to change eligibility rules, so some teams that have been eligible in the past will no longer be eligible. These won’t be easy decisions for us, but we are working very carefully to ensure the fairest result possible, and we will detail the reasons for our decisions when the information is released.

Hmmm. Could it be that the field/community feedback was "we don't want a lower percentage of teams eligible for champs?", instead pushing for an increase in capacity?
Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk, and cut it with an axe. This is not an exact science. - Jim Meyer [more]
