Bigger issues--Long as usual from me

[Ron Van Putte]

John Ferrell wrote that we should  "declare independence in the same 
manner as the IMAC folks".  I tried to do that with my annex proposal.  
The proposal would have taken the maneuver descriptions and maneuver 
schedules out of contest board-control in the rule book and into an 
NSRCA-controlled annex.  The proposal precipitated an energetic 
response from the AMA Executive Council.  They had not initially 
realized the freedom that the IMAC folks had been granted in the 
previous rule change cycle and, when my proposal asked for the same 
freedom to act that the IMAC people already have, it was met with a 
swift and firm rejection.  I declined to have any part in a compromise 
proposal giving the contest board control of the annex.  John Fuqua and 
Tony Stillman decided to reissue my proposal, returning control of the 
annex to the contest board.
