International does not mean throughout the US

The IQA is definitely too much like a USQA, if you ant to be 'International', then actually give us some involvement.

IQA we love you, but we, as much as we want to, are not as far developed as the US and need to be treated differently because of this.

I'd like to add that it would be cool to have a European on the rules committee (if there isn't already), some big changes are happening (new pitch, off-pitch seeking discussions etc.) and I think decisions should include non-US Quidditchers too. E.g. Most people I have spoken to in the UK are in favour off-pitch seeking.

I'm sure the IQA does a stellar job within the US, but frankly they have been nothing short of abysmal outside of it. The lack even of media footage is particularly shocking, as it's not even as if that is something which would require very much effort, and ignoring people's submissions is just arrogant and unpleasant.

The IQA feels too disconnected from Europe despite being called the INTERNATIONAL Quidditch Association. From what I've heard, European players don't get enough influence in decision making and that must change.

It's about time that we start getting some more consideration in the world of quidditch and, as a volunteer of the IQA since months before actually playing quidditch the first time, I feel like this doesn't happen as much as it should even on part of the association whose primary goal to represent quidditch *internationally*.
I think most of us do like the IQA, we only wish it would pay some more attention to us, so we feel like we actually belong to it and more people are willing to make it grow even further :)

And so it begins. As a Canadian Quidditch player, I hope to see more countries calling out the IQA on their lack of "international-ness"
