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:
