Perliminary Tap Protocol:Ideally we should shoot for a 2004 year delegation size of 16.The number that 2002 tapped was 14, and while I think this is a good figure, I believe 16 is better.Given that we can almost always expect a few dropouts next fall I dont think we should go any lower than 14.One problem with the small size of our group is that if a couple are absent the size of the group is really, really small.Anything lower than 14 puts us at having a group our size or even smaller.
