[robocup-humanoid] Rule Changes

[Oskar von Stryk]

Hello Jacky and HL Teams,

As there are only 4 weeks to go until RoboCup in Singapore,
we should - as in previous years - collect any well-argued suggestions
for rule improvements and discuss and decide about them in the first team 
leader meeting.
Any short-term rule changes can only be decided there.

I suggest that the first team leader meeting is being held - as in 
previous years- in the evening of the first day of set-up, 
which is Sat June 19th, at 6pm.

Best regards,
Oskar
