Andy,
With all due respect, I wonder if you might answer some questions that I have about the proposed changes to the bylaws. 
As I understand it, the proposed changes will be presented to the general membership for ratifaction at the summer show/meeting. Aside from your above post that glossed over some of the changes, and reminding you of the repeated requests on this forum for a complete listing of all the proposed amendments, there has been no response.
How can we, as the general membership, respond in an intelligent manner when there seemingly will be minutes to digest the changes before a vote is cast?
I just recieved my magazine from the International Aerobatic Club, Sport aerobatics, and there was 2 pages devoted to proposed rule changes. The current rule is listed followed by the proposed amendment, followed by the reasoning for the change and the author of the proposal. These were posted for the general membership 2 months before they are to be voted on.
The problem at hand is trust. In the course of about 8 months there has been an upwelling of distrust for the current administration. Despite constant pleas and badgering the administration has chosen to completely ignore the general membership. Not a word has been uttered, lending to the distrust.
It's my opinion that YOU, as the chairperson for the bylaw committee should have provided a means by which the general membership was fully informed on the proposed amendments. All of them. You and the current administration have let us down.....again, and I am having a difficult time understanding your concern for "individual rights".
Please feel free to enlighten me.                         Larry Coltrin
