<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=428234705-16052005>My point is the procedure
does not involve the NSRCA, go to the AMA web site and download document
333.pdf, its the rule change proposal form. Its signed by three AMA members one
of whom must be a CD. The NSRCA is a special interest group not a ruling body.
The process is a right that every AMA member has regardless of ones affiliation
with a SIG. It is unreasonable to expect an AMA member to give up his/her rights
when they join a SIG. </SPAN></DIV>

not in the version of the rule book I'm looking at.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>These rules were written BEFORE the NSRCA was recognized as the official
SIG for pattern, I believe. It is in our best interests to act together,
in concert, which is why we formed the NSRCA. And why we all belong.
It's kinda like being a citizen; we enjoy the protection of the Union, and are
obligated to work with the majority. Being an NSRCA member includes an
implied responsibility to cooperate with the majority opinions democratically
arrived at. This way, we can provide the best possible guidance to the AMA
Contest Board in maintaining our sport, to betterment of the greatest
number.</DIV>
