It is disappointing that 3 or the 11 indoor contest board members did not vote.
Did the indoor contest board members participate in any formal or informal discussion of this provisional event proposal before the vote? If yes, please elaborate.
Personally, I do not have any opinion on this event, but I am disappointed that there are so many vague or contradictory statements in what should be a simple set of rules. Am I correct in recalling that the indoor board contest board has the option to amend the rules including making them clearer? Or is that an option at a later stage in the rules cycle or not at all?
I guess I do have one comment about this event after all! Since it is being promoted as a beginner's event & it is being touted as a "great success at the 2015 Indoor Nats" my comment is, that as I understand it, the newcomers of all ages that joined the contest were given these P-18's to fly. I.E. They did not build them. Am I under a false impression? Does the BOM rule still exist & apply to this event? Have any of these participants continued in indoor free flight?

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] Rules proposal voting
I don't know how many people in this group are interested in the rules change process, but if you are, the recent initial voting might be enough to boil your blood. IFF 17-01 passed by a vote of 6 to 2. Three board members DID NOT VOTE even though voting is a requirement for being a board member.
I won't name names but if you're interested here is a link to the voting results:
