[NSRCA-discussion] Rules cycle update

[Lance Van Nostrand]

Just wanted to let everyone know where we currently are in the rules cycle.  The vote last fall that was much discussed on this list was to determine which of the new proposals would be approved to go forward in the process.  March 1 was the deadline for cross proposals.  These were modifications or updates to the original proposals that are used to revise the wording of the original proposals before we make the final vote.  It appears that no cross proposals were received (still need confirmation on this).  This means the proposals, as published on the AMA site, now will be voted on "as is" for a yes/no vote.

Nothing wrong with this, but it surprises me.  Some of the proposals were not too popular in my area, but I voted for all of them anyway so that none were tossed out before people had the opportunity to make them better.  So the debate over them now will be very similar to before because the proposals are identical.  Now, however, the CB members must vote whether the proposals should become rules, instead of whether we should continue revising them.  The stakes are higher.  

This is my plea that you all make some effort to debate them.

I think March 1 is the deadline and they need to be published by March 15.  Did we receive any?
