NATS

[John Ferrell]

There are several ways to handle organizational matters of this nature.
The first and probably most important is whatever rules are written.

The second is the matter of tradition. You don't want to mess with this one without some serious thought.

The third is experience. 

The fourth is reason.  

Experience and reason are determinants of change. Or they are what allows us to avoid foolhardy changes. They are required if an organization is to survive. 

With the event schedule as close as it is, this is a very bad time for an organizational dispute.  From my viewpoint it looks as though the CD really does not have much of a say in it. 

It is not a politically correct reference, but a house divided will quickly fall. 
Better close ranks on this one.

  John: I have been intimately involved in the whole process for the past 6 years. Noone has contacted me about any major changes in the program, and asked how it would affect the running of the flight lines, and sites.

      OK.  
      It's great to discuss NATS issues, but the real issue here is the NATS plan.  NSRCA runs the NATS.  The way things are setup, any changes from the previous NATS plan must be approved by the NSRCA BOARD (VPS and Officers).  

      The plan must be submitted by the CD's through Ron Van Putte who is the NSRCA VP and his main responsibility is to direct the NATS for NSRCA.  

      Ron is currently waiting on Chip Hyde and Dave Guerin (NATS Co-Event Directors) to submit a complete proposal.  Part of the delay was due to final approval of the Team Selection Committee to agree to hold the TSC as part of the NATS.  

      I expect a proposal anytime, and the Board will then vote on it.  

      The membership will then be informed.  

      I understand the confusion, but discussing what will and will not happen will only cause further confusion, as nothing has been approved as of yet!  I suggest that you contact your NSRCA VP once the plan has been presented.  As of this time, they don't know any more than you or I do!
