NYRR removes benefactor status and NYRR salaries and consultants

Here's a quote from the New York Flyers Forum:

Iris, the end of the annual benefactor membership is really bad news. Combined with NYRR's cap at 5,000 runners "to enhance the runner's experience" and, consequently, NYRR's all but guaranteed price rise in March, they will be (once again and again and again!) be forcing their membership to shell out more and more money for what is already the most overpriced marathon in this country.

"most overpriced marathon in this country". Maybe it's so.

And maybe here's why:

Don't worry, the volunteers are mentioned here: http://picasaweb.google.com/fedex1/NYRR#5292853625696380658

It appears that the volunteers contribution "do not meet the criteria of contributed services".

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Volunteers
NYRR has many volunteers who make significant contributions to the program and support
the functions of NYRR. These contributions do not meet the criteria for recognition of
contributed services , and therefore , their value is not reflected in these financial statements.

But services/goods contributed to NYRR do have a monetary value:

Contributions of Goods and Services
Substantial goods and services are contributed to NYRR. Those contributions that are
susceptible to objective measurement or valuation are included in the accompanying financial
statements . NYRR has recorded contributions of approximately $1,157,000 for the year ended
March 31, 2007.

Does anyone know how to bid on the NYRR contracts. As a charity they are obligated to have an open fair bidding process.
