[NSRCA-discussion] NSRCA candidate rules proposal survey is available

[Dan Curtis]

I was re-reading the post about the survey and am really having a problem with 
the 4th paragraph.  It says:

The NSRCA BoD encourages your support in responding to the survey as the changes 
are believed to be appropriate for the continued growth and sustainment of AMA 
pattern. 
 
Is this actually saying that our board of directors is for the changes stated in 
the survey.  This is really hard to believe and even harder to fathom.
 
Where did these "candidate rule proposals" come from?  Why the 5500 gram weight 
rule?  Where did that one come from?  This whole thing seems strange and my 
goodness how many times have some of these isssues been hashed before?

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] NSRCA candidate rules proposal survey is available


The NSRCA Board of Directors (BoD), in consideration of NSRCA bylaws indicating 
that the NSRCA should take responsibility for making a consensus statement to 
the AMA Rules Committee on rules pertaining to Radio Control Aerobatics, has 
convened a Rules Proposal Committee.  The purpose of this committee is to 
prepare candidate rule proposals for endorsement by the NSRCA BoD.  The 
committee is chaired by Scott McHarg and its members include Jon Carter, John 
Gayer, Michael McEvilley, and Rick Sweeney.
 
The NSRCA BoD requested the rules committee to craft proposals with a focus on 
safety and contestant participation concerns.  The rules committee was further 
requested to craft proposals in consideration of the varying and oftentimes 
conflicting opinions of the individuals that comprise the AMA pattern community, 
while recognizing that change is warranted. In response to NSRCA BoD direction, 
the rules committee has developed four (4) candidate proposals for endorsement 
by the NSRCA BoD. 

 
In the spirit reflected by the direction of the NSRCA BoD, this survey is 
offered to provide the AMA pattern community the opportunity to review, 
consider, and provide feedback by supporting or not supporting each of the 
candidate proposals to the NSRCA BoD.  This survey is not a vote; it is only a 
means for the NSRCA BoD to gather information to be used in making their final 
determination of those proposals to be endorsed by the NSRCA. 

 
The NSRCA BoD encourages your support in responding to the survey as the changes 
are believed to be appropriate for the continued growth and sustainment of AMA 
pattern.  

 
Finally, it should be understood that individual AMA members are free to submit 
commentary on these proposals to the AMA Contest Board, and are also able to 
submit individual proposals on the same topics as those endorsed by the NSRCA 
BoD.
 This survey will be available until midnight March 1, 2012 and may be taken 
only once.  The survey is available at www.nsrca.us and you must be registered 
with the website and logged in but being a current member is NOT required.  
Thank you for your understanding and participation in this rules proposal 
survey.
