Does Skorupa claimed any excuse for her absence?
The most likely reason is that Skorupa do not want to have any deals with Makowski. He always thought that Milena was better setter and it was almost his decision to remove Skorupa from WCH 2010 roster. Also he was selected as a coach (and Świderek fired) to give chance for Radecka to be main setter.
Anna Werblińska confirmed to be part of NT (subject invitation from coach).
I was sure she will join team as Glinka and Gajgał confirmed it earlier.
Nice to hear that. Werblinska is the only polish OH who can receive and attack 
List of 22 players for the qualifaction tournament for the World Championship:
libero: Medyńska, Strasz, Zenik
setter: Bałdyga, Bełcik, Wołosz
middle-blocker: Dziękiewicz, Efimienko, Anioł, Kakolewska, Tokarska
outside hitter: Glinka-Mogentale, Kaczorowska, Mroczkowska, Sieczka, Werblińska, Wójcik, Skowrońska
opposite: Kaczor, Kowalińska, Skowrońska-Dolata, Smarzek
Very good players. I'm happy to see Mroczkowska on the list, I didn't expect that. 
I think I only miss Kurnikowska, Pyziołek and maybe Kasprzak.
finally I`m happy with this roster 
maybe there should be Konieczna and Kurniskowska instead of Sieczka, but we can`t have everything... 
and Smarzek 
Finally roster looks how it should look much time earlier I'm happy seeing Zenik, Glinka, Werblińska, Gajgał, Dziękiewicz and Kowalińska here, only missing is Kasia Skorupa. The biggest surprise except youngsters (Bałdyga, Smarzek and Wójcik) are Mroczkowska (I didn't expect that she'll be in NT again 
I really like her performances in Impel) and Kaczorowska.
Różycka, Polak, Kasprzak, Maj, Radecka aren't here and I think that we shouldn't regret it 
I agree with you Wojtek that Kurnikowska or Konieczna may be in NT instead of Sieczka, who's now after injury and still doesn't spike (we saw it in last 2 matches).
Another player who can be out is Efimienko - though she's best blocker in league her spiking abilities...
Pity that Magdalena Gryka decided to play for Germany 
seeing her game vs. Chemik it would be so nice to have her in NT for future 
but I hope that our setters will be enough for tournament (finally we won't see our star of delivering ball to MBs at the level of net - Radecka 
)
Why is Paulina Maj not there? Are the other liberos really all better than her?

Maj could be third here instead of Strasz, but definitely not as a starter in front of Mariola Zenik. Despite her age, she's still playing on the highest level. I would like to see also Agata Sawicka here, because she's also better than Maj. Medyńska is prospect for future and when she got a chance during WGP she played fantastic match, much better than Paulina. About Krysia Starsz: I'm a bit surprised seeing her in wide roster, because in league her reception could be better in this season, however both she and Ela Skowrońska had some injuries which don't allow them to show her best skills.
Sawicka could be there also Very strong roster indeed considering last 2-3 years rosters.
My starting six
Belcik - Skowronska
Werblinska - Glinka
Kakolewska- Dziękiewicz (Gajgal also in great shape but she is same type as Lena)
Zenik
Sawicka could be there also
My starting six
Belcik - Skowronska
Werblinska - Glinka

Zenik
Having this players and home-advantage, it would a huge shame if Poland would not qualify directly to WCH 
OMG, Skowronska, Glinka, Werblinska..... 
OMG, Skowronska, Glinka, Werblinska.....
Dream Team 
Too bad Bednarek is not healthy, but it will be great to have Lena back.
Nice to see Zenik (the best Polish libero), Kaczorowska (the best receiver aftter Werblińska?) and Mroczkowska (comeback to NT after 11 years!).
Good that some young players have been called but it's rather Makowski's smoke-screen. Now no one say that he doesn't introduce young players to the team. Anyway players like Smarzek or Bałdyga won't even come on traning camp. Only 14 players from this list will work together since 26th of December.
I'm not a great fun of Różycka and Maj but it's rather unfair to cut them from the roster. Especially that some weaker players like Strasz or Sieczka have been called. This season Różycka has quite good stats and her reception is not so horrible...I don't see her in starting six but she would be useful for example as a substitute for Glinka in background...
I expected Berenika Tomsia playing as MB last time...Her decision about switching position afects negatively on the level of NT so she should be called and treated as an univeral player (for example Kasia Skowrońska or Natalia Bamber played both as MB and OPP in Niemczyk's team).
Is there any chance that Natalia Bamber would come back volleyball?

Maybe, now she is caring about family - in Goldens match she didn't play at all because of pregnancy. I don't know which month was in September, so she will give or already gave a birth maybe in future she'll decide to come back

I agree.. I also expected to see her there.. IMO it's rather unfair not to call her.. although she changed position she could still play MB for NT, she was not some weak MB he was very good so I am very surprised
final roster for January qualifications:
Izabela Bełcik - Atom Trefl Sopot (rozgrywająca)
Eleonora Dziękiewicz - Tauron MKS Dąbrowa Górnicza (środkowa)
Katarzyna Gajgał-Anioł - Chemik Police (środkowa)
Małgorzata Glinka-Mogentale - Chemik Police (przyjmująca)
Klaudia Kaczorowska - Atom Trefl Sopot (przyjmująca)
Agnieszka Kąkolewska - Impel Wrocław (środkowa)
Izabela Kowalińska - Chemik Police (atakująca)
Dorota Medyńska - Impel Wrocław (libero)
Katarzyna Mroczkowska - Impel Wrocław (przyjmująca)
Katarzyna Skowrońska-Dolata - Rabita Baku (atakujaca)
Maja Tokarska - Gorgonzola Igor Volley Novara (środkowa)
Anna Werblińska - Chemik Polica (przyjmująca)
Joanna Wołosz - Unendo Yamamay Busto Aristo (rozgrywająca)
Mariola Zenik - Atom Trefl Sopot (libero)
Choosing from this 22 it's probably the strongest line-up. Fortunately we won't see Efimienko, I'm happy to see Kasia Mroczkowska in final roster From 22 players available OHs both Mroczkowska and Kaczorowska have quite stable reception, while Ela Skowrońska is undeperforming now
Kakolewska can be Glinka's daughter considering their age

Yeah, but Kąkolewska can learn a lot playing with Glinka
Wołosz injured! How does this effect upcoming NT plans?
