Making Flyball Better

Lisa from the Flyball Prop-A-Ganda blog wrote an article that everyone should read titled, How NAFA Works.  I think everyone should read it because it’s very insightful.  Moreover, it brings to light something that I need to explain about the Flyball Blog.

My Job

I look at my job on the Flyball Blog as kind of like the news media.  If someone tells me something, I do my best to investigate, try to find other sources to verify, and then report it.  I have talked with board members privately about different issues and some have been very candid while others have not.  Other than this private contact to verify or get additional information, I rarely contact the board about anything.  However, I will and do contact them if it deals with my club or me personally but this contact is different from something that I’m dealing with on the blog.

Suggestions to the Board

I don’t submit rule changes or suggestions and pretty much stay out if it, but this doesn’t mean that I don’t feel strongly about some issues.  I look at this blog as a way to put forth ideas and spark debate on wide variety of issues and topics.  However, it is important for everyone to know that I don’t put forth suggestions to the board.  If you feel strongly on a topic or issue that you see here or on other blogs, I encourage you to take them to the board.

If you have a topic or issue that you are thinking of taking to the board, I would be happy to post them on this forum for discussion.  Like Lisa explained in her article about board members not posting comments to the Flyball blogs, it doesn’t mean that they don’t read them.  I know that board members do read articles on this blog and most likely others.

Conclusion

I have explained how I look at my job on this forum.  Just like the news media, they report the news but they try to not to be the news.  I look at this blog in that same way.  I look to you, the Flyball enthusiast, to put forth your ideas and suggestions to the NAFA Board or the owners of U-FLI.  Together we can make Flyball better for everyone.
