We are winding up the cleanup of the inactive email addresses, and the
tally is impressive. Look for the final numbers soon. As we worked
through the process, we gave a lot of thought on how to keep better
track of the membership. We realized we need to do an annual roll call
and clarify the process we use to add new members.

While the "we don=E2=80=99t have any rules" thing has worked well for 25 ye=
ars,
we are tweaking the process we use to add members. This is pretty much
how our self-policing group has been doing it, we just never put words
to the process because we didn=E2=80=99t need to.=C2=A0 And for the record,=
 we are
calling this a "guideline", not a rule!

As opposed to the nomination process we have been using, we will use a
"sponsorship" process going forward.

First, we have the designations. All FOT members now fall into one of
two categories. Drivers or Crew. Drivers are active and former drivers
who turn (or have turned) the steering wheel in sanctioned competition
in a Triumph or Triumph powered race car. Anyone not falling into that
category will now be referred to as Crew.

Only Drivers can sponsor new members. If the new member is an active or
former driver, it's a done deal, we have a new FOT member. No seconds
needed, we are counting on our existing Driver members to vet the new
folks they sponsor. If a Driver wants to sponsor someone who is not
another driver, i.e. become part of the FOT Crew, or someone who is
actively on the path to becoming a driver in a Triumph they should
submit that request to our membership committee through me.

We think this clarification makes sense to keep our membership on point
and strong. The FOT is proudly keeping Triumphs on track and relevant!
