Ridecamp: RE: [RC] NO Protest

Lynne:

There is an established procedure for rules
changes/additions and most persons are reluctant to put
their name to such pieces of action.  for the protection of
a Committee to do the work. It is not beyond the pale to
have a singular member do it as well, though the acceptance
level would be somewhat lower.

Bob,

Please excuse the simplistic nature of this question, but
why can't a
member of the BOD just initiate a motion at the upcoming
board
meeting to plug this hole by amending our rules to clarify
that a
start is a start?  Not all rule additions have been as a
result of
protests, surely.

It still can be ride mgr prerogative to refund the rider's
entry, if
desired, but the AERC fee would still be paid.

(We're niggling over such a small amount, $4 per rider that
"doesn't
start".  How many of those are there per ride?  One?  None?
Two in 4
yrs of my ride).

I see no need for a protest in order to codify a rules
omission, the
same way that other omissions have been rectified over the
years of
our existence.  Am I missing something here?
