As far as I can tell, NSRCA will do all the annex work and the contest 
board will only "sprinkle holy water" on our work.  I do not believe 
that the contest board members (most are NSRCA members) would ever put 
a veto on anything we wanted to do.  It's just that the AMA hierarchy 
is unwilling to relinquish any more control over the rule book than 
they' inadvertently gave the IMACers in the last cycle.  The process 
WILL take longer, because it takes time to "sprinkle holy water".
