I believe that the majority of riders feel strongly that they should have a say in who is on the RC from the MT. If the club's constitution states that the RC should have MT members on it, then allowing the rider's input on this is crucial in my opinion.

By all means get some ideas together and bring them to the riders meeting so that a practical/sensible operational agreement can be reached.

I'm sure there will be a considerable amount of input from the riders in this session. A lot of information and suggestions have come to light even since the existing RC issued the recent questionnaire. The DD is a living, growing entity and encouraging input from all is vital. The recent questionnaire goes a long way to helping this. An open, transparent operation that allows and encourages input from all parties in a simplified manner has to be welcomed by all parties.

This is understood and I have stated on here that I believe that the DD is best run within the framework of the DSC which allows and considers input from all parties. This echoes the feelings of the vast majority of riders.
In addition, I believe that the MT reps on the RC should be extremely close to the series and should be dedicated to the role. There is a lot of work to do in the role and these responsibilities if shared with other DSC activities may not be in the best interests of the DD and indirectly the DSC.

Understanding these roles and the responsibilities of the MT members will assist the riders in identifying who from the MT might be best to undertake the running of the DD (should the riders be allowed to vote on this).
Running the DD is a time consuming role and I am grateful for any individual who puts time in to administer, manage and develop the series.
I am repeating myself, but I believe that the DSC should run DD, but with greater input to the structure of the RC from the riders.
