Ridecamp: Re: [RC] NO Protest

Bob,

Please excuse the simplistic nature of this question, but why can't a 
member of the BOD just initiate a motion at the upcoming board 
meeting to plug this hole by amending our rules to clarify that a 
start is a start?  Not all rule additions have been as a result of 
protests, surely.

It still can be ride mgr prerogative to refund the rider's entry, if 
desired, but the AERC fee would still be paid.

(We're niggling over such a small amount, $4 per rider that "doesn't 
start".  How many of those are there per ride?  One?  None?  Two in 4 
yrs of my ride).

I see no need for a protest in order to codify a rules omission, the 
same way that other omissions have been rectified over the years of 
our existence.  Am I missing something here?
