When a dead line for an official decission has past, and the discussion has not been made, it is normal for the authority to issue a statement at the dead line saying somthing like: The Sydney Dog Club regrets that the list of finalists for the Champion of Champions 2008 has not yet been compiled due to unexpected circumstances. The SDC now intends to issue the list on or before 1st August 2008. The list will be published here.

The fact that the ACF has not said this anywhere in regard to the 2008AC bids, shows how secretive it is. Ad hoc blabbering for the Newsletter editor is not good enough. The fact that he has time to blabber something about it shows that it is not a matter of insufficient time/resourses. It is a simple matter of the ACF treating the chess players of this country like mushrooms.

The ACF is not the only organisation in the world that is secretive and non-communicative. However, it is OUR organisation and it is not good enough.
