<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I learned yesterday that "we" have a new CIAM
representative, Derek Koopowitz, who has replaced Chris Lakin. Apparently,
congratulations to Derek.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>How is the individual selected?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Who is on the nominating Committee? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Is there such a committee?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>How are the candidates views and opinions
communicated?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Who votes?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Is the NSRCA, as the AMA's FAI F3A special interest
group, responsible for the process and then an AMA official, after careful
consideration and review "rubber stamps" the submission?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Did I need to have a FAI stamp to
participate?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Am I the last to know?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Derek is a fine choice AND there are also a bunch of
others who, I hope, were considered and reviewed... </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>who have made significant contributions to the sport on
the local, regional and national levels, have significant leadership experience,
have attended numerous FAI F3A World Championships as a Team member or Manager
or Team volunteer, have been involved at the highest levels and ample amounts of
time to focus on the role without distration or other
responsibilities...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>who also would make excellent contributions and continue
the traditions of excellence of our current and past CIAM
representatives.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Respectfully,</FONT></DIV>
