In addition, there is no date for the NSRCA board to actually approve and publish the schedules. The board needs to be given a date when that has to happen. Also, what happens if the board doesn't approve one or more schedules? Do we revert to the previous schedule(s) for the next 2 years?

I also think the Jan 15th date of year x is too late for the board to get the schedules to vote on. In the southeast, there are several contests in the Jan thru March timeframe. The schedules need to be approved and published by Dec 31st of year x-1, so that competitors know what to practice, and to allow for the necessary changes to scoring programs, give CD's time to prepare, etc. The proposed procedures are also putting this task on a board with many new members at their first meeting. This needs to finalized by the board prior to members going out of office.
