New agenda items are proposed by pilots, organizers and officials. Sources are written, telephone, E-mail, R.A.S, pilot meetings at contests and comments attached to the annual opinion poll. The results are tabulated and, along with copies of written comments returned with the poll, sent to the five members of the rules committee two weeks before the annual meeting. A preliminary agenda is sent as well. The usual practice is to print a complete set of rules every other year, with an addendum sufficing for the off years.
Distribution is accomplished through Soaring and other outlets.
