<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Good question. I would "conclude" that when one has an agenda, regardless of reality, the agenda gets executed or the attempt thereof.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Ron,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">John's post is interesting, and provides insight into his perspective. My response is:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">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 size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">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>

<?fontfamily><?param Arial><?color><?param 0000,0000,FFFD><?smaller>Please 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!

<?fontfamily><?param Arial><?color><?param 0000,0000,FFFD><?smaller>I submitted the takeoff and landing 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>

Joe,<br>
and what would you do as a board member if your board chairman used his bully pulpit to submit a proposal at odds with the NSRCA?<br>
