Dave, I knew these rules existed but I've never taken the time to read them. Why do some of the folks making rule proposals recently complain that their proposals were lost or that their District VP was unaware of their proposals. It seems to me that some improvements in the process at the local level need to be improved so that participants, folks making rule proposals, etc are properly represented. Perhaps we need an area (website or K-Factor section) where rule proposals and other issues are posted for all to consider. Right now, the best way to keep abreast of these issues is to follow rc universe, rc groups, flying giants, NSRCA tread and/or the K-Factor. None of these are necessarily the offical site for such information. Also, shouldn't each District VP discuss (either formally or informally) these rule proposals with his/her contituents before he/she votes on the proposal? Right now I don't think this happens on a routine basis.
