<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just wanted to let everyone know where we currently
are in the rules cycle. The vote last fall that was much discussed on this
list was to determine which of the new proposals would be approved to go forward
in the process. March 1 was the deadline for cross proposals. These
were modifications or updates to the original proposals that are used to revise
the wording of the original proposals before we make the final vote. It
appears that no cross proposals were received (still need confirmation on
this). This means the proposals, as published on the AMA site, now will be
voted on "as is" for a yes/no vote.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Nothing wrong with this, but it surprises me.
Some of the proposals were not too popular in my area, but I voted for all of
them anyway so that none were tossed out before people had the opportunity to
make them better. So the debate over them now will be very similar to
before because the proposals are identical. Now, however, the CB members
must vote whether the proposals should become rules, instead of whether we
should continue revising them. The stakes are higher. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is my plea that you all make some effort to
debate them. </FONT></DIV>
