As a returning club secretary since the internet, if the AMA says e-mail required for Safety coordinator he gets an e-mail address. What I'm wondering about now is why I was required to identify a club officer as the soul contact person (e-mail not required) for the club? Does this mean that all manners of club business/correspondence, except safety issues, go through the contact identified and listed on the AMA Web site for the club? Only the safety coordinator (not an elected officer) receives safety bulletins? By default the AMA is requiring a club to have E-mail access for club chartering. Why not the selected contact club officer? I would understand the club officer selected as the club contact person being required to have access to E-mail. BTW the contact persons e-mail is what I entered because our safety coordinator doesn’t do e-mail.
If you go to the AMA site all of this explained. The Safety Coordinators have alot of responsibility placed on them.

I did as you suggested, and searched on "Safety Coordinator." First on the list of returns was the 2009 Club Charter Kit. I scanned it and found this:
"In late 2008, the AMA Safety Committee developed an on-line incident report form. It is available only to
designated club safety coordinators and can be found in the “Members Only” section on the AMA Web site
at www.modelaircraft.org/membersonly/incident.aspx. This new tool will give the Safety Committee an
opportunity to establish common concerns and recurring problems throughout the country"
Why 'Members Only?" I thought the party line was that non-club flyers caused safety incidents. Is the purpose of the incident report (and SO's, as the report form is only available to them) to rat them out?
