I agree that the electronic age is upon us and we can use it to our
advantage to reduce our reaction time in the rules process. The Rally dept
has already started to do this, apparently. And the SCCA BOD is working
already to get it in place for all of the boards. That said, when a
process is changed, the entire affected membership needs to be notified that
it has changed before it is used to enact new rules. Doing otherwise
disenfranchises the affected membership.

Andy,
In this electronic age, I believe it is time for the SCCA to start looking
at shortening the time duration for rule changes and feedback. One idea
would be that when you apply/renew for a membership you also provide your
email address (and notify when you move). From this resulting database I
hope the numbers would show that a large majority of our members have an
email address - then our BOD can see that it is time to convert from paper
to electronic. From this comes SCCA electronic lists, chat rooms and on and
on. Those members without email would be strongly encouraged to get one -
new PC's are less than $600!!! Good used ones can be had for a pittance.
ISP service is as low as $10/mo.
Other national sanctioning bodies make rule changes on the fly during the
season - why can't the SCCA start to remotely get close to this? I
emphasize the word "remotely" because I know that the SCCA is different.
I think that the SEB can do something about moving the Miata's to AP for
next year if they decide to.
