Worlds 2010 - Qualified Players from Each Nation

On the off chance there needs to be a qualifier round, we should have the qualified players from each nation, plus number of qualifing seats they get.

Already one significant change has been made: Marc Roca is eliminating the open qualifier round at Worlds 2009. However, I believe there are other ideas for change that have broad popular support from the community, and therefore should be passed by us. It may feel a little strange for our Council to be finally passing such dramatic changes to the game, but we are losing players faster than the United States economy is falling, so I believe we need to take proscriptive action, and try our hands at some solutions.
