US Model Rocket Sporting Code
Rules Revision Process
The Rules Revision Process is the method by which changes may be made to the
United States Model Rocket Sporting Code (a.k.a.
Pink
Book). This process for a
regular rules revision is detailed in Appendix F of the Pink Book and
summarized
as:
- An NAR member submits a Rule Change Proposal (RCP) form to the Rules
Revision Chairman (RRC). There is no longer a fee required.
- The RRC reviews the RCP to ensure it does not violate the Safety
Code. The
author may be contacted if changes to the RCP are required. The RRC will
send the author an acknowledgment of receipt in a timely manner.
- RCPs are published in The Model Rocketeer. Members may submit comments to
the RRC.
- RCPs and comments are published in The Model Rocketeer with a voting
ballot.
- NAR members vote on RCPs by submitting ballots to the RRC.
- RCPs which receive a 2/3 majority are approved and are included in an
upcoming Pink Book revision.
