In this issue you will find important rules-change information. As you know, if you've been following along, we complete the initial vote on all basic proposed rules changes at the end of February. The voting has now been tabulated and the results are published here for your information.
Initial Ballot
Proposals that pass this initial ballot will go forward to the final vote unless a cross-proposal is voted on favorably instead of the original proposal. For a proposal to pass it must have obtained an affirmative vote of at least 60% of those who voted. A tie is the same as a failure. I encourage you to review the voting results.
Cross-Proposals
Cross-proposals are alternate means of accomplishing the objectives of an already submitted basic proposal that has passed the initial ballot. Cross-proposals may not be used to introduce new rules changes or to reintroduce proposals which were defeated in the initial ballot.
We are currently accepting cross-proposals. Requirements and conditions:
- Cross-proposals must be postmarked by July 15, 2003, to be considered.
- Proposals received after that postmark date will be returned to the person who submitted them.
- If a basic rules change proposal did not pass the initial vote, a cross-proposal may not be submitted for it.
- Cross-proposals that have already been submitted for basic proposals that failed the initial vote will be returned.
- All cross-proposals will be published in the November issue of Model Aviation.
The Rules Change Cycle can be confusing. If, at any time, you have a question about it, please send me email or give me a call: [email protected].
