Subject: What specific, practical steps are being taken to ensure fairness at SRO?

So far we've only seen a statement bemoaning the leaks and how hurtful it must have been to those poor adjudicators and their schools and families. They also mentioned in the same statement that they are "will work with CLRG and within our own region to find solutions" and have "taken steps." Our teacher says they have not been contacted for their input. Who within the region are they working with?

Does anyone have specifics beyond this flaccid response? I see a couple judges have been swapped out but what about sequestering, social media monitoring, and surveillance? Maybe reconsider publishing a list of competitors with their competitor number and school name? Maybe get all 25 adjudicators on stage and do a public raffle for stage assignments each morning? Maybe have adjudicators turn in their phones and laptops Thursday evening and get them back Monday morning? Maybe forbid adjudicators to carry around purses or anything else. Maybe escort adjudicators to and from the restrooms, break rooms, and hotel rooms? Maybe have private security escort the tabulations runner from the ballroom back to the tabulations room and have private security monitor all tabulations?

Is there really NOTHING specific they can say they are doing? I just listed a half dozen practical easy things. Come on Bill Maple, stand up for your region for once and do the right thing.
