[J22-Fleet 1] **Notice of Vote - Ballot Attached - April 29/2007 - 12pm (noon) Voting Deadline**

[Pat Kabris]

Were these rules discussed and made by motion at an open forum (fleet  
meeting) as they should be??     These options seem to imply that  
there are no other choices.   Who was the author??

I think the option for a Fleet Captain to act as his/her discretion  
on which races may be counted is far too broad with no apparent  
limitations.  This may be appropriate under some circumstances but  
not as a 'carte blanche' policy.

And the email I received does not bylaws attached.

Cheers,
Pat Kabris
