A guideline would still be valuable to help<BR>those who are trying to make the advancement decision, however that may be<BR>better placed outside of the Rule Book (such as the NSRCA web site)<BR><BR>2) Removal of the pattern schedules from the rule book, in an effort to<BR>simplify the change procedure.<BR> Reason: In conjunction with the change above, virtually every class<BR>is a "destination" class for some, and as such, some variety is desirable at<BR>every level. De-coupling the sequences from the rule book would allow<BR>greater ease in changing the schedules, and greater ease of change also<BR>reduces the critical nature of "getting it right" the first time, which<BR>would allow for more creativity and experiementation.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Thoughts??<BR><BR>How do we get this done...<BR><BR>-Mark<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target=_blank><FONT color=blue><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</SPAN></FONT></A><BR>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target=_blank><FONT color=blue><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</SPAN></FONT></A><BR><A href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target=_blank><FONT color=blue><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</SPAN></FONT></A></SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext"></SPAN></FONT></P><PRE><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black">_______________________________________________</SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext"></SPAN></FONT></PRE><PRE><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black">NSRCA-discussion mailing list</SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext"></SPAN></FONT></PRE><PRE><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext"></SPAN></FONT></PRE><PRE><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext"></SPAN></FONT></PRE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
