The following was submitted to the Membership of the ABPA on 1st July, 2013. The information regarding the overseas adjudicators was received today, only after consistent prodding by the LIME Hells Gate Steel Orchestra, for the ABPA to submit the names and bios of all seven (7) adjudicators selected, as per the Rules of the ABPA.. The names were submitted for the four (4) overseas adjudicators but without their bios. The ABPA has failed to date, to satisfy the requirement as prescribed in Rule 7 subsection (B) of the ABPA Rules and Regulations for National Panorama, as it relates to the submission of adjudicators bios.
The 2013 Panorama is scheduled for 1st August, 2013.
