The issues Tony brings up in his post have, for the most part, been discussed extensively and exhaustively in several recent and past meetings, and the current rules reflect the decisions made on those issues such as swim suit colors, glove colors, mouth guards and so forth.
I recently (actually second calling) requested rule proposals for the Durban meeting including general format for submission and a deadline of 15 January. I put my request on every relevant net I know and can access as well as rules directors for active playing countries and movers and shakers I know from those countries.
One rule change I would like to see is legal 'free subbing' between goals as was done at WC 2006 and Southern Hemispheres. It is an imperative change for any tournament with in-water subbing and works well, with very happy players, in other subbing systems. And I know Duck likes it.
We may, finally, be getting to the point where the major bugs have been worked out of our rules. Wouldn't that be nice, but please do send me your thoughts - before 15 January.
