the members were sent a K-Factor for January, February, March, April, May, June,
July, Sept/Oct and November, 2002. If you didn't get one please call Maureen
Dunphy. The March K-Factor had the survey for the proposed by-laws. By the way,
these by-laws were a continuation of the work started by Troy Newman and his
team. A few mods were made based on the survey vote, and then the
By-Laws were written in the final form and published. Every change was voted
upon by the membership. The District limits were not in the old By-Laws and
not in the new, either. The boundaries for District 2 were changed this summer
at the officer's meeting when Maryland was moved from D1 to D2. That also was
published. The District boundaries have always been set by the NSRCA BOD, and
can change as requested by the membership. There is no need to fix the
boundaries by inserting them in the By-Laws. The NSRCA BOD voted not to align
the NSRCA Districts to the AMA Districts. That also was in the K-Factor. Maureen
published it in her column.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Further, at 14.2 bauds per sec, you could down load the new By-Laws in under a

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tom ,thanks for the answer, but::</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What March K Factor--just now got first one this
year, except for the handout at the NATS, and it did not mention
this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With my phone line the best I can ever
do is 14.2, so therefore I do not download anything</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What K Factor month was the tally displayed
to the Membership?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The fact that there was nothing in
them before that defined how the Districts were established, and
structured, does not make the omission in the new ones
correct.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What in the old ones (Bylaws) authorized
establishing the Districts as were previously set. I have heard a lot of
discussion in the past about changing the Districts to match AMA, but there
were always excuses/no rationale for not doing anything.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By the new Bylaws, omissions are kicked back
to what AMA has--is this a new change? If not, we have not been
operating to the Bylaws in the past.Why not?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I joined after 1990--so have no record--I wonder
who knows they are there.</FONT></DIV>

out, then insert in an envelope and mail in. Did you do it as
