thanks for the reply.

so to clarify:

1. the MT decide who becomes a member of the RC.
2. this is only done at the AGM.

if thats the case, then i am deeply unhappy with it for 2 main reasons:

1. there is clearly no democratic vote or election of RC members (notwithstanding the riders reps, who, with all due respect to those involved were unable/not allowed to effectively do anything this year). this causes a huge potential for manipulation of how the series works and what can effectively be done with it.

2. being announced at the AGM is way too late. the vast majority of the important desicions need sorting now, am im not happy with not knowing who will be in charge until 1 month prior to the series starting.


i also think its somewhat of a presumption to say that DSC DD will be the ducati series run by new era next year. lets be honest, new era will take a grid of 40 ducati's no matter what guise or name it comes under or who runs it.

i would like to add i really just want to race like everyone out there and have no alliegance to any club/consortium/breakaway group what so ever. there are however many issues which need to/and can be dealt with which will take this series forward and it is vitally important that the right people are in place to do this.

under the current system i just cant see how this can happen.
