HOWEVER, while it isn't perfect, the rewrite of the Safety Code is one heck of a big step in the right direction, and I am very pleased with the work of Mssrs. Mathewson, Underwood and Morgan for that. It reads much more clearly, and in some cases manages to make sense out of utter nonsense, e.g., see R/C rule 9. This is no small feat, especially given that Brown is still in office. This is the first time I can can recall that the SC has been changed for the better, meaning sans any additional arbitrary rules (AKA insurance exclusions), and some existing ones less ambiguous (lawyers love ambiguity, I hate lawyers[>:]), and less restrictive. I give it an A grade, notwithstanding some quibbles that can be addressed later.
I know Bob Underwood and of course who Dave Mathewson is; anybody know Ron Morgan?

Drats, Abel, fer once you jest 'bout got it right!
For a set of rules that cover so much, I think they did a great job. Don't forget that they very possibly had to climb over some high obstacles on their way to completing this job.
Ron Morgan was -- and still may be -- the overall Contest Director or Manager for the NATs for since dirt, I guess. A very quiet non-assuming gentleman that just went about his work and got the job done. IMO, He has received far too little publicity for his labors.
