[WRTC2006] WRTC2010 TL Selection Critiera - Addl. Questions

[Alex Tkatch]

Harry,
Could you please change around points per contests
for: 
 
CQWW (CW&SSB)                      950
RDXC                               910
EU HF                              850
WPX (CW&SSB)                       780
IARU                               760
WAE (CW&SSB)                       750
ARRL (CW&SSB)                      720
SS (CW&SSB)                        600
NA Sprint (CW&SSB)                 520

I think giving some advantage to RDXC is fair in this
table, but NA Sprint may be eliminated without too
much pain to everyone(or state the reason why it's
even there) 

 Having NA Sprint and SS higher that it list here
doesn't make too much sense. Could you propose more
competitive test than NA Sprint to be there to begin
with?
 Judge selection different from the 'normal lottery'
looks a bit suspicious. I don't think we had an issue
there at PY WRTC or earlier, so can you please back
off from changing the rule on judges to 2006 or
similar?
Thanks, Alex KU1CW
