size=2>Ron,</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>John's post is interesting, and
provides insight into his perspective. My response is:</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>1. We recognize that the AMA CB is independent and should
vote in a way that represents their district. It is part of the CB
member's job to understand the sentiment of his district. It's not the
members responsibility to find him. Without this input, he is voting
personally from an appointed position (not democratic).</FONT> <BR><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3> </FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. It
is totally reasonable that he might prefer non-judged TO/L. In fact 17%
of the survey respondents agree with that position. However, with "nada"
input from his district, how can he conclude that an overwhelmingly unpopular
opinion is the will of his constituents?</FONT> <BR><FONT

pass on to the group that the Board is an AMA Board not a NSRCA Board.
If we were an NSRCA Board Ron Van Putte's proposal on the annex system
would not have been rejected by the AMA Excutive Council. While I
respect the NSRCA survey and look at the results I represent AMA District V
not NSRCA District 3. Same for the other Board members. Just as
the Board is not in lock step with me, or anybody else for that matter, the
Board is not in lock step with the NSRCA nor should it be. Each District
member must feel out his District. If he gets input from NSRCA members
from his District than all the better. Just for the record I received
zero, nada, 0 written or email inputs from my District members on these
proposals. Others in my District have talked to me and there was no
clear consensus one way or the other leaving me to vote m! y
feelings.<?/smaller><?/color><?/fontfamily><BR><?fontfamily><?param

<BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?color><?param

proposal, again, having had another of my district members submit it the last
cycle where it failed. Just like flying by class vice frequency of some
years ago, some ideas take time to develop. I think the proposal is
superior to what we have now for a lot of reasons. Go look at the
rationale in the proposal to see the issues. One last thought. If
takeoff and landing were aerobatic manuevers, the FAA would require all
airline passengers to wear
parachutes.<?/smaller><?/color><?/fontfamily><BR><BR><?fontfamily><?param
