The RCP process for changing rules in the NAR Sporting Code a.k.a. The Pink Book is defined in the sporting code under section F of the appendix. The process can be reviewed online at https://www.nar.org/pinkbook/ the cycle for proposed changes runs on a one year cycle. A dedicated online RCP Forum for proposals to be reviewed, commented on, and finally voted on is here: https://www.nar.org/contest-flying/rules-revision-process/rcp-cycle-2015-2016/
Twelve regular proposals were received for this cycle. Take the time to read the proposals carefully. I also recommend that you discuss the proposals with fellow contest flyers for the pros and cons of the proposals. Some clubs even have discussion at business meetings to allow for opinions to be shared among members.
You will have UNTIL 11:59pm EDT April 15th, 2016 to comment on the proposals. Once the comment period closes details will be announced on voting procedures for the process. Once the proposals are voted on, they will require a 66% vote for the proposal to be passed and become a part of the pink book effective for the new contest year July1, 2016, but they will have no bearing on NARAM-58. I would like to remind everyone that the opportunity for you to submit a RCP is as simple as writing up your idea or submitting it online at the link you can find at: https://www.nar.org/competition/pinkbookrcpform.html
