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. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> We would like to thank those of you who took the survey and appreciate not only the time that it took for you to fill out the survey, but your dedication to this hobby.
