Member Comments Sought on Proposed Team Selection Policy Changes
The IAC Board of Directors is requesting comments on the following motions carried at the Fall Board of Directors meeting held October 23-24, 2003 in Oshkosh, WI. As per the Policy and Procedures (P&P) Manual, when any proposed changes are made to P&P Section #504 - Selection of U.S. Aerobatic Teams, there will be a two-month member comment period before the IAC Board of Directors casts a final vote to approve the proposed policy changes. IAC members should direct their comments to the IAC Board of Directors list serve at IAC-Board@eaamail.org or individually to their regional Director. A list of Regional Directors can be found in the members only section of the IAC website at http://www.iac.org under Leadership - Board of Directors. A Board vote will be taken at the Spring Board meeting to be held March 26-27, 2004 in Chicago, IL.
Motion #22: To remove all references to percentage for Team Selection from the P&P.

Motion by: Parker-Lauck/Second: Poehlmann
All in favor
