Re: Re: P-18 plans and Specs
/My understanding is the vote happened on 3/15. This was just before I
joined the board so I don't know the results./
(from Jake Palmer)
Jake and all
The voting hasn't started yet. Here is the schedule (copied from the AMA
rule book) followed by some info that hopefully helps define what
happens at each stage of voting.
The following steps happen in EVEN years for Indoor Freeflight
(proposals may also be submitted all year in ODD years)
/Jan 1 – Mar 15 Accept basic rules change proposals. Review of proposals
as they are //
//received by the chairpersons. Publish proposals as received.//
//
//Apr 15 Initial vote ballots sent to contest boards //
//
//May 1 Initial vote due at AMA HQ //
//
//May 15 Initial vote results published //
//
//May 31 – Jul 30 Accept cross proposals. Cross proposals reviewed by
chairpersons. //
//Cross proposals published //
//
//Aug 1 Interim vote e-mailed to contest boards //
//
//Aug 15 Interim vote due at AMA HQ //
//
//Aug 30 Final vote e-mailed to contest boards //
//
//Sept 15 Final vote due at AMA HQ //
//
//Sept 30 Final vote results published //
//
//Oct 15 //
//Generate proofs, distribute to chairpersons, do final edits//
//Nov 15 – Dec 31 Make final changes to contest regulations and post on
website./
There is some room for misunderstanding about what happens in each of
these phases. To clarify I sent the following questions to Tony Stillman
2 years ago. His responses are in red:
/Tony//
//I've had discussions with several different people about exactly what
each of the 3 stages of voting means. Here's what I think it means://
//
//1. Initial - If a proposal passes it goes to the Interim vote. If it
fails it is done for this 2 year rules cycle. That is correct//
//
//2. Interim - Cross proposals may be submitted but ONLY for proposals
that passed in the Initial vote. Proposals that passed the Initial phase
are voted on again along with any cross proposals. Proposals that fail
are done for this 2 year cycle. That is correct//
//
//3. Final - Any proposals that passed in the Interim phase are voted on
again. That is correct. If a proposal and a cross-proposal of the same
number are passed, then the cross proposal is used to amend the original
proposal and that amended proposal is passed on to the final vote. If
all cross proposals for a given proposal fail and the original proposal
passes, the original proposal goes forward.//
//
//So here are a couple of issues I'm not sure about://
//
//1. In the interim voting if a cross proposal and the original proposal
both pass what happens? Do they both go to the final voting? And if so,
and if both pass in the final voting, what happens then? Which one would
be put in the rules? Is there some mechanism that would prevent this
from happening? The cross proposal effectively amends the original and a
new modified proposal is the result. That new modified proposal is what
goes forward to final vote. The contest board chairman oversees this
process.//
//
//2. To pass, a proposal must be voted acceptable in all 3 votes. If it
fails in any one of the votes it is done for this rules cycle. Is this
correct? That is correct. The idea of the initial vote is to weed out
obvious unwanted rules proposals. Most proposals should pass the
initial vote, and in fact, it does not hurt if all pass, as you will
then be allowed to get cross proposals that would otherwise fix issues
with an original proposal. It the original with a correcting
cross-proposal is still not acceptable, it can be disapproved in the
interim vote or final vote./
