As promised, here are the raw results of the survey. 107 unique
individuals took the survey. Individuals that felt it necessary to vote
multiple times had their responses deleted and only their original answers
accepted. Based, in part, to Dean Pappas' post on RCU and through the
comments listed there, through email, phone conversation, discussion on this
list and in person, the Safety Proposal was adjusted to the "What"
instead of the "How". The new Safety Proposal will be posted
shortly on the NSRCA website. The NSRCA BoD met last night to vote on
these candidate proposals. The original Safety proposal was taken off the
table (the one that you saw in the survey) and the new proposal was then voted
on. Based on survey results, District VP interaction with his
constituents and posts on RCU as well as this NSRCA discussion list, the BoD
unanimously passed the new Safety Proposal, the Class Advancement as well as
the Telemetry proposal for submittal to the AMA Rules Committee. The
Weight proposal also passed with a vote of 9 to 1. </div>

The Rules Proposals will now be sent to the AMA for further review and
discussion. Attached are the survey results both in raw (all members) and
NSRCA members only form. I have also attached all four of the proposals
