[NSRCA-discussion] NSRCA candidate rules proposal survey isavailable

[Del]

Well !! many statements made are miss leading by inference.  The continued growth infers growth all ready exists and they are desiring to continue that trend.. Was any solicitation done by the BoD to obtain input or ideas from the membership? In the past, the BoD the majority of the times, has voted in support of what the majority indicated. Some apparently feel the weight issue is worthy of being increased whether the majority agree with it or not. Scott is making an effort to change things. Whether it be for the better is what is so debatable.

  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?

  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.
