I propose we vote in a Championship Manager, with a supporting team of 3-5 people, rather than a voting committee.
CM would then run the group as a working team; CM listens to advice and suggestions but has authority to get the job done and make decisions. This team would organise and run the championship.
The power and authority this will give, will give great drive and impetus to the Championship, but needs to be controlled by the racers. Therefore I'm also proposing that an Emergency General Meeting can be called by petition presented to the Scottish BRCA Rep, with representation by 66% of the current season's participants.
BRCA Rep & CM, along with senior representative of petitioners, must agree venue, date and time of the EGM, within 2 weeks of acceptance of the petition or prior to next Championship round - whichever is sooner. BRCA Rep must accept a petition signed or with the agreement of 66% or more of the current season's participants.
As long as there are 66% of the current season's participants in attendance at this meeting, then they have the power to remove any or all of the Championship Team, if they carry the vote with more than 50% of the total of the championship attendance.
That'll give the Championship Manager the power to make decisions quickly, have a small committee to delegate work to, but with the viewpoint that he or she needs to keep the majority happy with their decisions.
If the right person is in this CM role and they are given the authority to get the job done, then the Championship will grow very quickly and very strongly. Plus, the drivers have the authority and mechanism to remove that authority if it's not doing the job to the majority's satisfaction.
Obviously to achieve this, the BRCA Rep & the Championship Manager, cannot be the same person.
And I would also politely decline from accepting any suggestion that I stand for either position. I cannot commit time or resource to managing this at present.
I do strongly believe that this is the correct way to run the championship, as long as appropriate controls are also in place.
