<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This sounds like the right move, to avoid a
possible controversy, however I for one am disheartened that this maneuver is
necessary.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Having only been a member of the NSRCA for one
year I guess that the heavily political scene has escaped my notice. I
knew about the AMA's politics, but not realizing that it also followed our
group was just plain ignorance on my part.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for myself, I'm just here for the chance to
become a better pilot and to have as much fun as possible, with my limited
skills.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Members:<BR><BR>In response to the e-mail that
Frank sent to the membership, I feel that I need to clarify my
position. First, I was unaware that AMA counted the ballots in a prior
election. Somehow, I didn't get this info. Second, I take
offence to the notion that I am in complete violation of the rules. If
the person who wrote the by-laws would have put "SHALL" instead of "SHOULD",
this would not have given me the option. I read that as something
that we might need to do, but not an absolute requirement. It is
apparent that this needs to be re-written. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, I don't see AMA counting the votes as
any "fairer" that NSRCA doing it. I have now heard about ballots that
were not counted when AMA did it the last time. I have no way of
knowing if this is true or not, but just the rumor that this might
have happened makes me think we would be much better off to have a
completely separate organization that has nothing to do with model airplanes
to count the votes. AMA sends it's election ballots to an independent
accounting firm for this, and that is what I think we should do as
well. This way, there is no connection between NSRCA and the
tabulators. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, that is the direction I am going to go with
this. I am checking into an accounting firm that will handle this and
go that way.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have also directed the NSRCA Secretary to
forward the ballot information to our new publisher and they will handle the
printing and mailing of the ballot so that the NSRCA officers will be out of
this loop as well. </FONT></DIV>
