<DIV><FONT size=2>I echo Kristi's comments. Considering USA Waterski is
holding us accountable for this, they really should be doing a better job of
record keeping. I've actually taken the safety certification two
years ago and the driver's test twice; once two years ago for a class A
rating, and last year again for a class B rating. Both times I was given a
"temporary card" which I was told was supposed to be followed up with an
"official" card ...which I never got either time. I sent in my driver
certification renewal form prior to the deadline earlier this year,
but still have not received a new card and my name is not on the
list. It appears to me that if they want to be able to enforce
this with any kind of authority ...and avoid hassles at tournament time, they
had better get their record keeping in order.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I have some concerns about
this.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The records are not accurate
and my concern is that we are held accountable to maintain our status - but the
record keeping of that status seems to be inaccurate.</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>I checked out the link below and I do not see several
people on either the safety or drivers cert (that took the courses at our clinic
last year).</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I have copies of the
paperwork - so I can verify who actually completed the courses.</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>In addition, I do not see several members
of my own team on either the safety or drivers list - who I know have taken the
courses.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>ex: I know of three people that
took the safety course with me (2 years ago) that are not listed.</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>When talking to USA WaterSki - the burden of
proof is upon US - the skier. </FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>I am going to try to work with USA WaterSki on this - however, I suggest
that you verify all of your drivers and safety coordinators are listed.</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Would welcome any suggestions as to how to
combat this.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Kristi</FONT>
