I don't have a problem covering expenses. But the money IS to enter. Does
that mean I can enter without my $20,000, then?

Regardless, this is a point we cannot agree to. I will personally send
the IAHC a $20,000 draft if we are guaranteed participation based on an
objective set of criteria. Anything else is unacceptable. This point is
non-negotiable, and our participation in this process hinges upon it. All
other points are negotiable, and we're prepared to talk.

Put simply, without an objective set of criteria for participation, we
will not endorse the IAHC, and will persue other means of resolution.
I don't want that. Please don't make us do that.
