<DIV dir=ltr>Both make excellent points. Over 15 years in the NSRCA I
can't think of a single rule that increased

many NSRCA members? Sample seems to have quite an effect. After the discussion

<DIV>It really looks like 2 proposals were supported by the group that
voted, and 2 proposals were pretty much 50/50 I would defer to a
statistician to determine if the slight margin has any statistical
significance. I know it doesn't on one and doubt it does on the other.
Does the NSRCA really want to support (and therefore likely have
passed) 2 proposals that if 1 person voted the other way on one and 4 people
voted the other way on the other would have resulted in a majority voting
against?<BR><BR>I strongly urge the powers that be take a closer look at
these two proposals before "pushing" them through on half the voters that
didn't want them. The results are too close to say that "we" are in
favor of them.<BR><BR>Stuart Chale<BR><BR>On 3/8/2012 3:50 PM, Scott McHarg

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>

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. 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 again (with the
new Safety Proposal) for your consumption.<BR></DIV>
