The minutes of the WBFLC are available on the WBF home page at the
following link:
http://www.worldbridge.org/departments/laws/cmte_minutes.asp

There was one meeting every year from 1998-2003 (except that there
were 2 meetings in 2000 and none in 1999 due to the fact that the Bermuda 
Bowl in Bermuda was held in Jan 2000 rather than fall 1999).  

For some reason there are no minutes for 2004, 2005, and 2006).  Does this
reflect the fact that the WBFLC didn't have any meetings in these years,
or were there in fact meetings for which the minutes have not been published?
Can anyone here explain this?
