The AMA District VP can approve dropping down in class. I have done that
for a couple of people over the last 4 years...

While I agree with the spirit of what your saying Mark there is a rule in
place and we have to abide by it until it's officially changed.
As the interim NSRCA D5VP I will work within the system to accomodate
anyone who wants to drop down a class in D5. John's email conveys the system
that exists in black and white. We want to help those that need it here.
Kind of like our version of a stimulus package.
I hope that the rule can be changed sooner than later. Mike
