The issues raised are best resolved between the ones who raised them and the management and board of directors.
It serves no purpose to debate those issues here, where rumor will abound and there’s sure to be false assumptions as to how and why decisions have been made.

OAO

The issues are debated here because often our only chance of "understanding" what FIRST is doing is to debate for a while, then assume. In this case, Transparency would be pretty darn nice. People running teams can more effectively line their team up with the plan of FIRST, saving money and preventing potential embarrassment over things like the FTC switch.
