What's amusing is that so many people think this is a stupid requirement, but then you see many of the same people up in arms because the AMA does not send out notifications about important items like FAA issued TFRs and so on.
The two postions are totally compatible.
The AMA SHOULD be using electronic means to notify clubs of any issues that may affect them, such as the restrictions which surrounded the national conventions that were reported here several months ago.
But to hold up a charter because of lack of email address is ridiculous.
