RCP Results 2007-2008
Results for the 2007-2008 Rules Change Proposal Cycle
The 2007-2008 RCP process concluded as of June 15, 2009 and the results are listed as follows. Appendix “F” in the sporting code states that proposals must receive a 66% vote for the proposal in order for it to become a part of the sporting code. The proposals that did pass become a part of the sporting code as of July 1st 2009 for the new contest year but have no bearing on NARAM-51. I received a total of 165 ballots and some ballots did not vote for all proposals.
