question for USA folks

Is USOA's stance on cmas limited to uwh involvement only?

I ask because i understand that the USOA has applied for entry to the Bari games for a US finswimmer to compete.

It seems a little odd to me, cos i was at the TT opening ceremony in Christchurch a few weeks ago and the rambling speech that Carol Rose gave made me think she considered cmas and it's minions to be pawns of satan.

Can someone ask Carol if she was a: stating a personal view, b: the official stance of USOA [which seems muddled if USOA is backing the inclusion of one of it's athletes in the Bari games], or, c: the view of the current uwh commission.

To my mind it's rather poor form to slag off the organisation which you [presently] represent; ie cmas. To do it at a personal level is one thing, but to do so as an official of that organisation is quite untenable. Surely a resignation is in the offing?

Or has the entire uwh commission already resigned/left cmas?

supplementary question for anyone who knows: what teams have entered and/or applied for entry to Bari comp this year?
so far i only know of France, GB, Turkey, Italy [naturally].
We might not all be going, but surely we all want to know who is and how things are going during the comp.
