the NSRCA. The NSRCA board has no special power in this process, at least not in
the version of the rule book I'm looking at.</SPAN></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>
