The Competition Rule amendment process in the Rules of Structure is amended as


follows (Rule #10.03 in the Rules of Structure):

1. Competition Rule proposals must be submitted five months in advance


of the CKC Sprint Discipline Annual General Meeting
2. The Domestic Development Committee will review the rules and
divides them into two categories:
i. Housekeeping
ii. Substantive

 Page 2
3. Housekeeping rules will be forwarded directly to the Sprint Discipline
AGM for decision. (This means they are forwarded to the Clubs 30
days prior to the start of the AGM.) (Current procedure.)
4. Substantive Rules will be forwarded to an ad hoc technical committee
appointed by the SRC. The purpose of the technical committee will be
to review the proposals within the context of the Sprint Discipline’s
strategic goals in order to ensure compliance.
5. The technical committee will submit their recommendations to the
DDC for distribution to the Clubs 30 days in advance of the AGM.

See below the new wording which will appear in the Rules of Structure.

10.03 Mode of Making Rule Changes - The Competition Rules may only be
amended, repealed, or added to by motion of either the Sprint Racing Council,
a Division, or a Member Club, in the latter two cases in good standing both at
the time the motion hereinafter required is delivered and at the time of the
meeting at which the repeal, amendment, or addition to the Competition Rules
is to be considered (which motion shall not require seconding at the meeting
in order to be properly before the meeting for consideration except in the case
of a motion from a Member Club which shall require seconding at the meeting
in order to be considered). Notice in writing shall be delivered to the Director
General by the moving party, at least five (5) months prior to the meeting at
which the repeal, amendment, or addition to the Competition Rules is to be
considered. The Domestic Development Committee will review the rules and
divide them into two categories:
i. Housekeeping
ii. Substantive

Housekeeping rules will be forwarded directly to the Sprint Discipline AGM for
decision. Substantive Rules will be forwarded to an ad hoc technical
committee appointed by the SRC. The purpose of the technical committee
will be to review the proposals within the context of the Sprint Discipline’s
strategic goals in order to ensure compliance. The technical committee will
submit their recommendations to the DDC for distribution to the member
Clubs thirty (30) days in advance of the AGM.
The Director General shall send a notice of such motion(s), both
Housekeeping and Substantive, to each Member Club of the Sprint Racing
Discipline of the Association at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the
meeting. Once a rule change (amendment, repeal, addition to) is properly
before a meeting of members for consideration, any person or club entitled
to vote at the meeting may move, in proper order, an alternative to the rule
change provided there is a seconder to such motion and the motion is
restricted to the subject of the same rule change.

If a rule change properly put before a meeting of members requires, in order


to ensure consistency and a proper sense to the Competition Rules,
amendment to or repeal of another rule, or addition of a rule, not referenced
in the motion delivered to the Director General as aforesaid, such other rule
may be considered for amendment, repeal or addition, by either amendment
to the motion by the moving party, or by motion of any person or club entitled
to vote at the meeting provided there is a seconder to such motion.
