The Executive Committee is voting on the following resolution which was confirmed as being read by each member.

 

“Whereas timeliness requires an emergency action in the approval of the following Special Event rides, the AERC Executive Committee on behalf of the AERC BOD agrees to waive the following procedural requirements for Special Event sanctioning as defined in rule 11.2.1:  ‘A petition for such approval must be sent to the AERC Executive Director for distribution to the Special Events Chairperson and all Regional Sanctioning Directors where the event is to be held at least 180 days before the ride date.  Upon approval the petition will be distributed to the Board for comments.  Such petition must include clear rationale for the qualifications and justification for this specialty ride.  The Board will render its decision within 60 days.’

 

And subsequently, the AERC Board of Directors approves the sanctioning for the 2003 ride season of the following Special Event rides:
