This is fine, but is this because it's the age of adulthood in the US, or is there a more concrete reason? |
|
We discussed in the last CPC call, the primary reason is that this is the age of adulthood in the USA. We did not want to accept either the liability or overhead of implementing a program that could support funding the travel or attendance of minors. |

There are countries where that age is higher; Japan and NZ are 20, for example. I'm fine with 18 tho, for those stated reasons. |
|
Maybe change it to 18 or the age of majority in the person's country of residence, whichever is higher. |
