The CRS is governed by a Board of Governors (BOG) which consists of the
organizers from each CRS event. Membership on the BOG will begin once the

of the year the event occurs in, plus the following year. In addition to
the organizers there will be a number of other members including: the
Director, Equipment Managers, Secretary/Treasurer, Membership Officers,
Competitor Liaison, Rallycross Liaison, Press Liaison, Sponsor Liaison,

BOG Operation
The BOG shall make decisions on Calendar approval, amendments
to these rules, amounts of fees, and any other items deemed appropriate
by the Director. The BOG shall also be responsible for appointing
people to fill the jobs of Equipment Manager, Secretary, Press
Liaison, Rally Membership Officer, Treasurer, Rallycross Liaison,
Rallycross Membership Officer, Rallycross Pointskeeper & Equipment
Manager, Webmaster and Sponsor Liaison. The BOG will also serve as
an informal forum for the organizers to discuss items related to
the organization of rallies. For voting purposes each Rally event
shall have the same number of votes as the event’s weighting
factor (1, 2 or 3), with a limit of 3 BOG votes per competitive
weekend. Rallysprint organizers will have one vote for each event
organized. Rallycross organizers will have one vote for each CRS
points event organized. Any officers that are not organizers will
have one BOG vote. Each event will have a single point of contact
for the purposes of BOG email polls. The single point of contact
for each event will designate who from his event shall be on the
BOG mailing list and who will have voting privileges at meetings.
A quorum of at least 50% of the possible votes must be present to
make any decisions on rules.
While all BOG members are welcome to participate in the discussion
of any issue, for voting purposes the BOG will partition issues
into three categories: “Rally”, “Rallycross”
and “Common.” The Rally and Rallycross categories will
be those issues that only relate to that specific championship
(e.g., CRS-2 rules would only relate to Rally). Issues that have
crossover interest (such as budget and membership items) will be
handled as “Common.” The table below details which
members of the BOG will vote on which issues.
