NBRC Item 2010-01
International Membership
The Executive Committee openly discussed and gave consideration to the following policy, as written and presented:
“We welcome anyone that resides outside of the USA to join the NBRC under an International Membership. International Members will not be grouped into Regions because they are not allowed to fly in the NBRC National Championship Fly, and therefore they will not be represented by Regional Directors. International Membership dues will be set by the Executive Committee, as per the NBRC by-laws.”
Vote Result: The item passed the committee by a 26-0 vote.
Acceptance Date: January 29, 2010
NBRC Item 2010-04
Executive Committee Interaction on Membership Forum
The Executive Committee openly discussed and gave consideration to the following policy, as written and presented by President Joe Dan Parson:
“I want to change the Membership Forum to allow EC members the ability to interact with the general membership. I feel it is necessary to open the communication for EC members so that we can interact with the members we represent. To accomplish this, I propose that we completely strike the second paragraph from the current Forum procedures: ‘Executive Committee members will be allowed to monitor the list but cannot post commentary. From review of general membership discussion, the EC can gain a sense of how non-voting members regard a certain issue.’”
Vote Result: The item passed the committee by a 23-0 vote.
Acceptance Date: March 30, 2010
NBRC Item 2010-05
Disclosure and Publication of Voting Record
The Executive Committee openly discussed and gave consideration to disclosing the voting record of its members, as written and presented by President Joe Dan Parson:
“In the spirit of increased transparency, a proposal has been made to publish the actual voting records of all business conducted by the EC. The records will indicate the actual proposal, the name of the EC member, their region or office held, and their yes or no vote. If an EC member did not vote, that would be recorded also. All records will be published in the next upcoming NBRC Bulletin after the voting period for all proposals has ended.”
Vote Result: The item passed the committee by a 24-0 vote.
Acceptance Date: April 6, 2010
