RE: [RC] Motions before the Board of Directors at the Convention

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

Mike :

My comments follow:

In most all instances the statement "Implementation of this
policy will have no cost to AERC and shall be effective
immediately." is not true.

Motion <<< No later than three weeks after a meeting of the
BOD, the Executive Director shall summarize all action items
or motions which were proposed AND APPROVED BY THE BOD and
shall provide this summary to the BOD >>>> will definately
have an effect on the time and finances of the office
personnel. There will be the time of assembling the
information and the cost of printing and mailing to be
countered with. These costs are not currently provided for.

The Motion: <<<<Any additions to AERC rules, regulations or
policies (including awards and event qualification
criteria), or any changes to such existing rules and
policies, which are approved by the BOD, shall not take
effect until the ride season or qualifying period AFTER the
addition or change has been printed in the Endurance News.

Implementation of this policy will have no cost to AERC and
shall be effective immediately.>>>>

I find this rather incongrous. The motion is made in the
first paragraph to do a particular action that precludes
doing what the final sentence in the motion states.

The Motion:  <<<<Abolish all qualifications imposed by the
AERC on the National Championship ride this year.>>>>

To me this mends the 2002 is wide open and available for
competition to all members of the AERC no matter what their
ride record. If you have paid your dues to the AERC you are
entitled to ride in the 2002 NC 100 mile ride.

I think it is time to STOP AND THINK!!!! Does no one read
what they write? This is why I bitch and scream about the
BoD actions being done in the dark. Placing these before the
membership three days before the vote is unpardonable. This
agenda should have been published in January for the benefit
of the membership and so the Directors could receive input
from their regional members.

Further, to have an annual meeting scheduled and these the
only items on the agenda at this point tells me something is
drastically wrong. Are there no items from the committees or
have the Committee Chairs found that it is easier to ram
things through when no one has had time to examine the
content?

When is the BoD going to start acting like a BoD?

Convention


Motions that will be considered at the Board of Directors
meeting in Reno are located at the AERC web page

http://www.aerc.org/

or directly at

http://www.aerc.org/2002_Convention_Motions.html

There may be more added before the meeting and I hope to
post an agenda for the Thursday and Sunday sessions soon.
