I pressed the send button accidently in the prior post. Let me also address some of your other concerns. When I asked for the Minutes and addendums, I also got a copy of the Intro Membership package, a copy of the addendum with the definition of a model, the Scholorship Committee Recommendatins, the Nominating Committee Minutes, and the new document addressing Compulsory Club Bylaws.

As for the definition of a model and the 2004 Safety Code, it has been posted on the AMA site for a while. The definition is not the only change. The one that woke me up was the one prohibiting intentionally touching parts of a plane to the ground, except for landing. See the Safety Code to see exactly what it says.

On the insurance situation: there is concern about putting the policy on the net. Simply put, they don't want attorneys looking at it just because they have nothing better to do. On the other hand, they know that any member can have a copy by requesting it and paying $5. So an attorney can get it for the cost of a membership plus $5. They are looking at making the Member's Only section more secure. It has been "backdoored" and the Financial Statement has been posted on the net. They have no problem with members discussing the documents, or having access to them, but they do have a problem with the documents being posted for general prusial by just anyone. Sending it to clubs is a great idea. The only problem I see with that is that somewhere between 20 and 50% of all members are not club members.

While I think that the EC does, more times than not, request input on Safety Code items, there are times when they make changes in a hurry do to current events. I am not sure if there is any real option to this, or not.
