proposal Frank Kelly Long Beach CA would have slipped schedule having new book become effective January 1 after date issuance ex ample came out mid-1980 would have effective 1981-1982 rather 1980-1981 proposal defeated vote 4-yes 13-no So basic problem continues Unless way can found speed up process rule book preparation after voting fin ished likely next too will lateby being ready printer until some time after January 1 1982 comments accompanying voting proposals indicated universal lack understanding what involved get ting rule book ready printer after voting changes has completed basic problem involves proposals compatible book some reworking proposal book nec essary work done volunteer officers Contest Board chairmen Unfortunately due personal schedules often later desired major AMA HQ effort also involved Blending different inputs rework previous book accommodate changes Since two-year rules-change cycle es tablished couple rule books ago number rule proposals submitted year has increased tremendously over effort much greater used thus aggravating lateness problem Try Again Meanwhile review proposal slip schedule get rule book out early instead late may order sim ply involves saying next rule book scheduled effective 1982-1983 will effective instead 1983-1984 meantime existing rule book would continued through 1982 new rule book very late usual could printed
