<DIV>Nobody is talking about special power. The NSRCA is however an AMA
appointed SIG and does take a lot of time and trouble to both find out what the
membership wants and then processes the language of the change. With many eyes
on the work done most of the "holes" get sorted out before it goes to
print. We certainly look at the effect upon all of the classes.</DIV>

<DIV>The NSRCA judging committee was formed to explain and clarify any
confusing rules text and rules explanations. It consults with the AMA contest
board when it need a rules interpretation or where an area is not covered by
the written rules.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Don Ramsey accumulates the rules "problems" and submits them
as questions to the NSRCA survey and updates the training scripts etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The take-off and landing rules-change was submitted by the AMA Contest
Committee Chairperson, John Fuqua and co-signed by Tony Stillman and Ron
Van-putte. This was not an NSRCA proposal. It was, in fact, the opposite to
the NSRCA majority vote to keep the landings and take-off's. (We often refer
to this type of proposal as a private proposal.) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The "private proposal" was not processed by the NSRCA judging committee
nor the NSRCA board. The proposal did reach the AMA rules book with
the English that we are wrestling with today. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Even though it should have been looked at and tailored for each AMA class
the new system is basically a facsimile of the FAI system. Knowing
this we should be able to implement it effectively during the season. We will
ask the question again in the 2005-7 survey. Then subject to what you all
think we will propose a change or not, as the case may be!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Eric.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>P.S. I personally think that our skill in landing and take-off is one
worth preserving!</DIV>
