Just in case not everyone has an account on Jim's, here is the post:
This is from the minutes of the October AMA Executive council meeting:
c. IMPBA
• Hahn was directed by Council in April to investigate a membership program involving IMPBA.
• During the investigation it was uncovered that there are other boating organizations that need to be considered.
• The consensus was to table the issue indefinitely

Hey Bill, you're an AMA "insider", what's this mean?
They are saying that right now they are not interested in IMPBA becoming a Special Interest Group ( SIG ). The quicker an item during a meeting gets tabled, the less interest the group has in that item...............been there, done that. Everyone here knows how I feel about this, so we won't go into that. I have had dealings with the AMA, and just because the players change doesn't mean that the game changes, too. They will get more information on IMPBA over time to see what's going on in our organization, but until a knowledgeable person from IMPBA meets with a counterpart from AMA, both sides are going to be in the dark on this.
Good Morning, Terry!
