Line 3 says no equipment registration/entry fees.
Line 5 says $350 membership fee for each person including crew every event. Effectively the annual membership fee becomes and entry fee of sorts.
If you do more than one or two events is it a bargain?
It is progress..............

it says "all" not "every", the email I received explained that the annual crew fee wouldn't be waived but the boat entry and reg would be.
so basically, if you have already been at an SBI event, it is free now if you aren't looking for points or prize money and want some possible TV coverage.

I expect to pay a membership fee. No problem. I read it as "MUST pay....at all joints events" means more than once. Not sure of the intent, but it seems unclear to me.

I'm not sure what all the Congrats are for ? 
JC signed a letter of acknowledgment from a boat racer that will have to present this plan to the OSS Board of Directors for a vote.
It has been almost 2 weeks since that letter was signed. Does anyone know if this letter has ever been presented to the OSS Board and did they vote on it ?
Also, I noticed there is no time line on this.
Would this include a Joint Race in Key West 2009 ? (The 1st race of the 2010 season.)
Or will it only be race sites JC wants to invite OSS when he needs them most?
$350 membership per person at all joint events.
I always thought the membership was an annual fee. Am I reading this wrong when it states they will have to pay at every joint race?
Until an official press release comes out of OSS, this is nothing more than a racer presenting an idea.
Not to mention the same idea JC has shot down many times in the past from an OSS official for Key West and many other sites...
Something tells me JC & WHM would like nothing more than having a joint event in Jersey City/New York. I recall that event having record low boat counts the last few years....
I guess we should wait & see how the OSS Board Votes on this before patting JC & Bill on the back...

I believe it was just worded incorrectly, why would John Charge other orgs more than he charges regulars?? Its a once a year deal.

Remember guys,
SBI didnt type this letter up, Bill did, John just agreed by signing it, so if it is $350 per event it was Bills idea:reddevil:

Its hardly a joint venture.
Its a method of OSS guys getting to race on a one at a time opportunity.
Satisfies one groups low boat count and another groups low venue count.
Sorta like a guy with no left leg hookin up with a guy with no right leg to go for a stroll.

It is my belief that if an organization has a Board of Directors that makes the decisions on what the organization's direction should be, one person cannot dictate where that organization's direction goes. It would need to be voted upon by the members.
After Ron's post, it appears everyone is free to race where they want and when they want.
As far as the OSS organization itself, it appears they had given SBI enough opportunities to work together and made no progress collectively.
On the flip side, they have seem to have moved forward with OPA and will stay that course for now and the future.
