Some comments to the agenda
8. What happens to existing race walking and cross country councils. Our Bylaws would have to make changes. RRTC has enough to do under its present setup.
9. Depends where bike was calibrated.
11. XC course should not be certifers. Too many variables occur. Maybe, a certificate could be issued just for XC courses as they were measured according to our present standards. However, many XC courses have too many types of surfaces as this will create inaccurate measurements.
13. This can happen, but the person that measures should have their own insurance. As for happening, in my time I know of no lawsuits that has ever happened. Why open this can of worms.
14. I doubt this will ever fly with Joe the measurer. May work with our Certifiers, but I have my doubts.
16. Congrats to my fellow Award winners. I thank RRTC for selecting me as it is a great honor. Sorry, I will not attend the meeting this year, but hope to see you all in the future.
Have a great meeting,
Gene Newman.
