Rules Proposals Final Vote

[Gray E Fowler]

" how can he conclude that an overwhelmingly unpopular opinion is the will 
of his constituents"

Good question. I would "conclude" that when one has an agenda, regardless 
of reality, the agenda gets executed or the attempt thereof.
That's what my District has told me.....through a Muse.

Ron,
John's post is interesting, and provides insight into his perspective.  My 
response is:
1. We recognize that the AMA CB is independent and should vote in a way 
that represents their district.  It is part of the CB member's job to 
understand the sentiment of his district.  It's not the members 
responsibility to find him.  Without this input, he is voting personally 
from an appointed position (not democratic).
 
2. It is totally reasonable that he might prefer non-judged TO/L.  In fact 
17% of the survey respondents agree with that position.  However, with 
"nada" input from his district, how can he conclude that an overwhelmingly 
unpopular opinion is the will of his constituents?

pass on to the group that the Board is an AMA Board not a NSRCA Board.  If 
we were an NSRCA Board Ron Van Putte's proposal on the annex system would 
not have been rejected by the AMA Excutive Council.   While I respect the 
NSRCA survey and look at the results I represent AMA District V not NSRCA 
District 3.  Same for the other Board members.  Just as the Board is not 
in lock step with me, or anybody else for that matter, the Board is not in 
lock step with the NSRCA nor should it be.  Each District member must feel 
out his District.  If he gets input from NSRCA members from his District 
than all the better.  Just for the record I received zero, nada, 0 written 
or email inputs from my District members on these proposals.  Others in my 
District have talked to me and there was no clear consensus one way or the 
other leaving me to vote my feelings.<?/smaller><?/color><?/fontfamily>

submitted the takeoff and landing proposal, again, having had another of 
my district members submit it the last cycle where it failed.  Just like 
flying by class vice frequency of some years ago, some ideas take time to 
develop.  I think the proposal is superior to what we have now for a lot 
of reasons.  Go look at the rationale in the proposal to see the issues. 
One last thought.  If takeoff and landing were aerobatic manuevers, the 
FAA would require all airline passengers to wear 
parachutes.<?/smaller><?/color><?/fontfamily>

Joe,
and what would you do as a board member if your board chairman used his 
bully pulpit to submit a proposal at odds with the NSRCA?
