d_striker Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Rather than one individual making an interpretation, wouldn't it make sense for all of the NROI Instructors to discuss as a panel and come to a consensus? It seems silly to have one person as the absolute arbiter...Especially on some matters that may not be so black and white. Or the fact that one DNROI's interpretation may contradict a previous DNROI's interpretation or future DNROI interpretations. This has nothing to do with any specific DNROI and is not meant to disparage anyone. Just questioning the structure and protocol.

Gary Stevens Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I know for a fact that the DNROI, both past and present, has sought information, opinion, and guidance prior to issuing an official opinion. While Troy and I have strongly disagreed on particular issues, he has never exhibited a "my way or the highway" attitude. When push comes to shove someone has to make a decision. That job falls to the DNROI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Jones Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 What he said. Although it is invisible to the membership. the DNROI solicits opinions on all these issues prior to issuing an interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And DNROI then briefs the Board, who have a certain time period to object/vote -- right? So, not only are the RMIs consulted, but the process is then vetted by the BOD.....

Gary Stevens Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Correct Nik. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_striker Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Interpretations seem to happen pretty quick. For instance, anytime someone emails DNROI for an interpretation of an existing rule, he's pretty quick to respond. Are we talking about rulings or interpretations with regard to DNROI consulting NROI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Stevens Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Interpretation's are posted on the USPSA website. E-mails, I think, are unofficial guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schutzenmeister Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Troy also seeks out opinions, from time-to-time, not only from his Instructor Corps, but from ALL of his RMs as well. He definitely does NOT make his decisions in a vacuum. We don't always agree along the process, but in the end, we all support the final decision.
