[NSRCA-discussion] 2009 AMA rules proposal survey

[John Fuqua]

John

 

I know the new rule book is not posted yet but there are some changes to the
rules cycle.   Proposals will be accepted from 1 Jan of the first year until
15 March of the second year.   The plan is to have an online form that
anyone can use.  No second or third proposers are needed.   Everything
hopefully will be either on line or via email.  The proposals will be posted
on the AMA website as soon as it is accepted by the Board Chairman so
everyone can follow what has been submitted.  There will be a cross proposal
phase as well in the July of second year time frame.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] 2009 AMA rules proposal survey

 

As you all know the new AMA rule cycle begins January 1.  Although a two
year 
process, basic rules change proposals must be submitted by Sept. 30 of year
1.
In the past a poll has been deveolped to give all pattern flyers who are AMA
members
an oppourtunity to present ideas, gauge interest and prepare them as
possible formal
rules change proposals.  I have volunteered to help generate this year's
survey but time is short
and I need your help.  We need to cast as broad a net as possible to ensure
we contact
as many active pattern flyers as possible.  Posting a thread on RCU, Flying
Giants, RC Groups plus
notices in Model Aviation and the K-Factor come to mind.  Once we allow a
reasonable time for the 
suggestions to be submitted they will be reviewed, the poll prepared and
published in the K-Factor as 
well as  <http://nsrca.us/> nsrca.us website.  At that point they will be
voted on.   We will
use the results to deveolp the proposals.  The ideas we need aren't "the
snap/spin rules stink; yes or no"? 
or "somethings gotta be done about such and such"!  The submissions must be
in the form of a 
choice of specific alternatives to a rule, or a situation the member would
like to see improved or changed.  
Will you help me?
Now is your chance to help make pattern better!
I am attaching the most recent survey from 2005.  
The formal rules change procedure is here

Thank you!
