Default The "legislature" again soon to be in session.

April 19 is again for the AMA "legislature" ( ) to again be in session. Who was it that once stated, "No man's property is safe when the legislature is in session?" Franklin? Whoever?

Well in the public web site the topics are displayed; http://www.modelaircraft.org/aboutam...8ecagenda.aspx

Not sure where you got your "Mis-information" on this subject, but most committees are full or close, and have had meetings.
My favorite, the Safety committee, had their meeting Monday in Toledo after the show. There were 19 agenda items, IIRC.
Other committees are in similar situations.

I understand you are usually "in the know" but you struck out on this one![X(]

I never claim to be in the know...therefore I can never strike out!


BTW I really do not see how your reply has anything to do with what I said.

Sorry, GF, however the real Umpire has yet to rule on that "strike-out".

http://www.modelaircraft.org/aboutam...ecminutes.aspx
Dave Brown to vacate all committees and all chairmen for next Pres to appoint.

http://www.modelaircraft.org/aboutam...ecminutes.aspx
Mathews appointed new Chairmen: Chairmen could appoint members. Membership interest in committees to be polled. IT HAS!
Like most other things, I doubt the average committee member had any idea that he had been "out-sourced."

http://www.modelaircraft.org/Members...ommittees.aspx
As of this date, no new committee persons other than chairmen are listed on the named committees.

Maybe they''re simply keeping secrets again. No need to rush it, as they aren''t a headqtrs. dreamed up PPP!
