I suggest that items 1,2,3, and 4 replace Section VII, D, 1, d whichcurrently reads: In the Final round speaking pOSition shall be determinedby blind draw. (See page 36)

Section VII, D, 1, d would now read:

d. In the final round speaking position shall be determined by:1. Avoidance of speaking in the top, middle, or bottom

speaking position for a third time.

2. By adding the speakers' four previous speaking positionsand plaCing the highest cum in the highest speaking position, etc.

3. Wherever possible, avoid plaCing a speaker in the same speakingposition a second time.

4. By using a blind draw when the first three priori ties have been ,.(.;:.~,'-Iexhausted.
