Involving the pattern community as a whole.

[ANDY HERIDER]

Marty,

I disagree with you when you talk about NSRCA consulting with all interested AMA members. If the NSRCA ever does have a annex then that will become NSRCA policy. How many times has the IMAC SIG ever asked all AMA members interested for input on their maneuver schedules or rules proposals in their annex? I am not aware of any.

I think if anything the people who don't want to join the NSRCA are more than welcome to contests as long as they are AMA members. However, they will not have any influence on changes to the annex. It would only be fair to the NSRCA members.

I am I interpreting you correctly?

Sorry if I didn't make my meaning clear in the first post.

In a democracy, not everybody gets to vote on
everything.  Only those who have the right to
vote.  I can't vote in the Senate.  I'm not
a Senator.  Non-U.S. citizens can't vote.
Young citizens can't vote.  Criminals guilty
of felonies can't vote.

When and if the NSRCA gets the right to
draw up contest schedules, it will have to
consult all interested AMA members.

But (in my view) the NSRCA has the right to
consult NSRCA members about issues relevant
to NSRCA policy.  It has the right and the
obligation to survey its own members to find
out what they think.  In surveys like that,
non-members need not apply.
