Joe, unfortunately, in this litigious society, SAC has to do something in an
attempt to cover our asses in the case someone decides to take the entire
membership to court. Having said that, there are some legitimate concerns
you have stated. For example, one that we asked Kimball about had to do
withsomeone refusing to sign a waiver and attending the event. I don't
expect we would call the police, sheriff's office, ATF, FBI or the CIA; but
we would have to document such an event - just in case.
The main concern I have is the Messier Marathon. We have people from all
over the continent coming here for the first time. They are ones about
whichI'm concerned.
As far as who keeps the forms and how long. I'd say the orginazer and they
should be kept until the statute of limitations expires.
Agreeded it isn't fun having to do something like this. But it is only way
to protect ourselves.
Hope this helps,
aj

http://members.cox.net/paul.dickson/sac.constitution.html[3] I made some
changes to the proposed article XII. New stuff is underscored, old is
