I think this is a great idea , automatic renewals , as yet another "convienence option" for folks to consider . CJ does make a good point about security , but then again It's to the point that if a dedicated hacker wants something , be it national security secrets or an AMA mender's account info , well they're gonna get it . Nothing is "hack proof" and the world can't base It's decisions on "well what if a hacker steals it" .
That is for certain! Since last October, I have fought a real battle with the b@$T@rd$. They wrecked my computer set-up. If someone wants to and they have the "confuser" savvy, they can take whatever they want. Just this AM one of the news channels I listen at was telling of some Eastern Europe set-ups that are for one thing and that is computer hacking, USA! Being rather political, someone may have wanted to hush me up, or maybe just AMA!

Wow , So here it is , 2017 and I just again did the two year signup . Just think , if four years ago (in 2013 when I originally opened this thread) I had been able to do a 5 year signup , I'd still have one year to go 
And posters wise ? Man O man how four years have changed the landscape ....

It would be a complete waste of time. There are really only 8 or so guys that ever contribute to the AMA forum and most times what gets posted is negitive in nature. AMA making a public announcement either here or on RCG would be nothing more then taking a broom to a hornets nest, it would be that same 6 guys crying about how awful the AMA is. Yesterday I started a thread over on RCG on who I had hoped would be elected AMA president and urged guys to check him out. Big mistake, two pages of chest beating.

Apparently due to AMA bylaws only 3 candidates can openly run. This seems to favor the incumbent president who is Rich Hansen. Mark Radcliff has openly thrown his hat in the ring as a write in. Mark has a business management degree, is a full scale pilot with some experience with FAA communication and a long time modeler. From what I can see, he appears ready to admit that changes need to be made. I'm not attempting to convince anyone to vote for Mark but rather do your own reserch on all 4 candidates and vote for whom you think may take the AMA in the direction you want the organization to go.

Thank You for the tip , I'd like to hear more about Mark Radcliff , do you have a link to his campaign statement ? (hopefully it isn't at rcg )
I believe that if a person meets all the other criteria for running for AMA president , and wants to run , the number of people on the ballot should not be used as a means to eliminate him (or her) ...

Thanks Hydro. I do agree with your thoughts here. The idea that allegedly the EC had a closed door vote to decide what 3 guys were going to run left a really bad taste in my mouth. Change is not going to happen without that first step and I think Mark could be that step, the others certainly are not, at least that is what I see.
