You need to ask AMA.  We (and many other SIGs) protested the change to 
a 3-year rule change cycle.  We lost; they weren't interested in our 
input.  They had already decided to save rule book publishing costs by 
publishing every three years instead of every two years.  Of course our 
logic that e-mail and the internet should speed up the process, not 
slow it down,  was not of interest to AMA.  Try to get a straight 
answer out of them why we have a 3-year rule change cycle.
