calling complete for new takeoff

[Gordon Anderson]

This is a little confusing. All rule change proposals are "private proposals"
according to my rule book the procedure is:
 
"At this time, the procedure for changing a rule is as
follows:
A formal proposal on a form obtained from AMA
Headquarters and signed by three (3) AMA members
(one of whom must be a Contest Director) is submitted
before the September 1 deadline as shown in the
schedule."
 
Individuals submit rule change proposals not the NSRCA. The NSRCA board has no
special power in this process, at least not in the version of the rule book I'm
looking at.

The NSRCA judging committee was formed to explain and clarify any confusing
rules text and rules explanations. It consults with the AMA contest board when
it need a rules interpretation or where an area is not covered by the written
rules.
 
Don Ramsey accumulates the rules "problems"  and submits them as questions to
the NSRCA survey and updates the training scripts etc.
 
The take-off and landing rules-change was submitted by the AMA Contest Committee
Chairperson, John Fuqua and co-signed by Tony Stillman and Ron Van-putte. This
was not an NSRCA proposal. It was, in fact, the opposite to the NSRCA majority
vote to keep the landings and take-off's. (We often refer to this type of
proposal as a private proposal.) 
 
The "private proposal" was not processed by the NSRCA judging committee nor the
NSRCA board. The proposal did reach the AMA rules book with the English that we
are wrestling with today. 
 
Even though it should have been looked at and tailored for each AMA class the
new system is basically a facsimile of the FAI system. Knowing this we should be
able to implement it effectively during the season. We will ask the question
again in the 2005-7 survey. Then subject to what you all think we will propose a
change or not, as the case may be!
 
Regards,

Eric.
 
P.S. I personally think that our skill in landing and take-off is one worth
preserving!

What do you mean by that comment, George?

 
As I see it, the meaning was "VERY CLEAR" !  I understood it fully.
