NARMA Board Meeting - 6PM EST

Agenda Items

  • Updating the current club map - Our current club map is outdated and missing some major organizations. We’d like to put out a call to the community to help update and maintain this important resource.

  • NAO RFP Process - Given the change in venue for the North American Open, NARMA would like to put together the requirements for an organization to put in a proposal to take on the mantle of hosting the event. Once these requirements are decided upon they will be posted to the community along with a submission period for interested parties.

  • Regular meeting cadence - Deciding upon a scheduled meeting cadence that can be used to ensure regular public updates and progress reports on NARMA projects.

  • Board expansion and community inclusion - Given the challenges in community inclusion that have come to light over the past month, the NARMA board would like to come up with a plan to allow for additional members of the community to join us on a transitional basis. This is a prelude to further restructuring to ensure that NARMA is a transparent and responsive body in service of the US community.

2018 LAPOM Best of the West Team Tournament

The 2018 schedule begins in California with the LAPOM Best in The West Team Tournament. Details are still forthcoming, but it will be in Saki-style format, but modified to accommodate the tighter time schedule.

Unfortunately, registration for the tournament is closed due to field size reaching its maximum for this first iteration. LAPOM hopes to be able to expand the field in the future once all the logistics are shookdown.
