ITAC and CRB and the Process

**dickita15** · 02-01-2010, 11:36 AM

The current developments between the ITAC and the CRB were a topic of discussion at the convention including in the session between the BOD and the CRB although that meeting was early in the week (Wednesday afternoon) before many emails had been received. There are always a number of topics that come up both at meetings like this as well as throughout the year so there are different issues competing for attention.
Member input often drives priorities. The volume of that input is the only way that the powers that be can gauge if issues are really of serious concern to a large portion of the membership.
Input to the Board of Directors can be sent by email to [email protected]. Input to the Club Racing Board is done online at http://www.crbscca.com/ and your letter can be cut and pasted into a form on that page. Each of these reach a different group that are involved with setting policy for club racing in the club.

Dick, thanks for the post on this. It is appreciated.

Thanks for the heads up. Letter sent via that mechanism too, #644.

**Butch Kummer** · 02-01-2010, 02:51 PM

And I'm #645.

I knew the new procedure (www.crbscca.com) was in place, but I couldn't remember what it was and I couldn't find it mentioned on SCCA.com. That's why I copied the BoD and Terry Ozment when I sent my original e-mail.

It also works better if you re-type your letter rather than cutting and pasting it - special characters like quotes and apostrophes don't translate correctly. Hopefully the CRB will be able to figure that out and won't discard my thoughts because of the typo's!

I guess we'll see what happens...

Make sure letters regarding the CRB are sent to the [email protected] also. Letters sent through the www.CRBSCCA.com website DO NOT go to the BOD.

I sent my e-letter last night to [email protected]. Does this mean that they didn't get it? I may have to retype my letter...

I'm not sure what happens to letters that go to the old address. I would think that they should either have an automatic reply that tells you to go to the new site and enter it there, OR it should happen automatically. NO response indicating that it is a dead end would be wrong.

No need to retype for the BoD, just get it from your sent folder copy and paste it with the correct address.

If you compose a letter in Word (or whatever), paste it into Notepad or some other simple text editing application, and read/edit it there first. Then cut it out and paste it into the form. That will strip out all of the formatting etc. that dorks it up. Or just type it in Notepad, but then you lose spell-check, which I kind of count on...

Approx three weeks ago I sent a letter to the old CRB address with ZERO response. Several days after no response I called & was given the new CRB address. Then received a notice with tracking number. Nothing is tied together & to my knowledge the new address is not (was not at the time) tied to the rules making process writeup.

Resend your letter.

Is it me, or does having an auto reply on an email that isn't used anymore just seem like simple common sense? I mean, it it that hard?

The last time I sent an email to [email protected] I got a response back saying to go to the web site.

**JoshS** · 02-02-2010, 04:15 PM

Right, my guess is that the auto-response is working, but that they end up caught in most people's spam filters.

**Andy Bettencourt** · 02-02-2010, 04:16 PM

I also got the auto reply sending me to the correct address.

Well, nothing has come back, and I did not get any request to redirect mail. So I'll assume the CRB got my complaint. But to be sure, guess I'll resend my letter through one of the "official" channels...

**dickita15** · 02-02-2010, 07:44 PM

If you have not heard anything I would defiantly resend it. The item I had in February Fastrack was sent by email in May and other than an email saying they received it I had heard no more. In December the SCCA staff loaded my letter in the system and I got a tracking number.

**IPRESS** · 02-02-2010, 07:51 PM

Just asking, but has anyone ever sent a letter to the CRB saying: "Thanks, you are doing a good job?"

I know that is not the sentiment right now on here, but I was talking to another racer today and the question came up.

**dickita15** · 02-02-2010, 08:02 PM

Well the BOD has received only 21 letters, all in support of the process.

That's an effin' landslide in letter-dom.

It is way more than head and neck generated.
