They pay Potomac 300K a year to do nothing... and then they can get the Awning guys to "sponsor" events... believe me they have no care there.<BR/>Shame that the labs strike again... this group is such a joke and anyone who defends the lab portion and their blatant cash grabs is delusional. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post!!Max Perilsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07323484420166435611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18295380.post-17813310039657934362009-03-04T15:19:00.000-05:002009-03-04T15:19:00.000-05:00In the meeting booklet they publish under the meet...In the meeting booklet they publish under the meetings section of their website they no longer list NFRC staff as attendees to the meeting. They were alway listed in past meeting booklets. I guess your's and other comment about the percentage of staff vs members at these meetings were at least read if not heeded. <BR/><BR/>Waste of funds by staff is a huge problem at these meetings. In Nov. 2006 when the meeting was in Washington DC all the NFRC staff stayed at separate rooms at the hotel even though their offices were 20 minutes away in Maryland. At $250 a night these costs would have been HUGE. <BR/><BR/>The residential guys are getting screwed at this meeting just like the commercial guys. There are 2 ballots out that would greatly reduce costs and effort of certifying products, the elimination of simulating windows with grid (muntins)in the IG and eliminating validation testing for those recertifying products. All the labs voted NO (no big surprise). They make a huge profit on these parts of the program.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
