The annual meeting of the Gulf Coast Division will be April 3rd.
There are a bunch of loose ends, conflicts, and anachronisms in the Bylaws of the Gulf Coast Division which have been causing some pain. (No, I'm not talking about radical changes, just small fixes.) The Bylaws can be changed by the membership, but only at a meeting of the membership. I'd hate to see the membership get together on some random occasion for the sole purpose of listening to somebody's ideas for Bylaw repairs. (Who knows? A quorum might not even show up!) If Bylaw changes are to be considered, it would seem nice to do it when the members of the Division are already together for another reason. Come to think of it, April 3rd will be one of those occasions!
Of late I have been constantly being hit over the head with practical problems created by minor parts of the Bylaws. This has inspired me to seek a collection of minor changes to the Bylaws which would make life easier in one way or another. Since I figure each different idea will cause a different group of people to scream at me to tell me I'm an idiot for a different reason, I am not going to mention them all in this thread. I'll spread them out into individual threads, with one proposal or one logical group of proposals per thread.
You can use this thread to scream at me to tell me I'm an idiot in general. Use the other individual threads to tell me specifically how I'm an idiot.
Note: These proposals are those of Matt Delevoryas, individual member of the Division. I do not speak for the Executive Committee.
Note: This isn't the first idea for a Bylaw change this membership year (see thread campechesteel.proboards15.com/index.cgi?board=Division&action=display&thread=1068101402). In fact, I'm not even going to touch that idea in my suggestions. And, if you want to say something about that idea, feel free to speak about it -- in that thread.
