<DIV>Hi Dave,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes, we got a lot of rain yesterday and today. You guys broke all records. As soon as I came home today, I checked the sump pump. I don't want to get my planes wet in the basement. Looks like this weekend is going to be nice for some practice.</DIV>

I would like to know where this can be reviewed. If not, I request a copy of the minutes to be mailed to me at my present address. I would like to know what authority a SIG has to sanction a paying AMA member from participating in an AMA national event even as a judge. At what point did the NSRCA Board discuss this with the AMA Competition Board? If not at all it’s nothing less than a lynching and the board members responsible for this should resign immediately. Eric is an AMA member first. The NATS is an AMA event First. I would agree that the CD, with input from the NSRCA Board, could recommend sanctions to the AMA on behalf of a written protest.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><FONT face=Arial size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">First of all, the NSRCA needs to amend its charter to state that it is a ruling body on judging resources.

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><FONT face=Arial size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Secondly, the AMA has a pretty good disciplinary process that the NSRCA could incorporate to deal with judging infractions.

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><FONT face=Arial size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">With the bylaws as they are, I consider the NSRCA board to have acted illegally and to not have given me a chance to challenge their evidence BEFORE they met and passed their sentence. </SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><FONT face=Arial size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Most importantly, the NSRCA needs to revamp its judging training.
