RE: ROC- Good News Maybe

["Bob Morris" <bobmorris@rmci.net>]

Please review the following excerpted from the AERC Rule
Book:

Qualification rides are rides with entry qualifications
other than those contained in rule #3. Special event and
special qualification rides shall require approval of the
AERC Board of Directors for sanction for the first two
years.
11.2.1 A petition for such approval must be sent to the AERC
Executive Director for distribution to the Special Events
Chairperson and all Regional Sanctioning Directors where the
event is to be held at least 180 days before the ride date.
Upon approval the petition will be distributed to the Board
for comments. Such petition must include clear rationale for
the qualifications and justification for this specialty
ride. The board will render its decision within 60 days.

This means that the ride must PETITION for sanctioning to
the AERC Executive Director AND the Regional Sanctioning
Director who will, IF THE PETITION IS APPROVED, PASS THE
PETITION ON TO THE BOARD.

The ROC did not get a petition to the AERC Executive or the
AERC Regional Sanctioning Director 180n days prior to the
ride date. Thus petitioning the BoD at this time is
fruitless.

We have a well defined procedure that was established a
number of years ago. It has not been followed. There are no
grounds nor precedents for Board intervention in the
process.

Sorry Ridecampers;
My second call from the "reliable source" says that the ROC
application needs to go through the board since it didn't
meet last
weeks deadline. I understand the application was sent back
in
November, so apparently another lost in the mail problem
(I've had
several myself)
Stay tuned!
