I threatened (see campechesteel.proboards15.com/index.cgi?board=Division&action=display&thread=1079586617) Bylaw change proposals. Here is the sixth, which, like seventh, has to do with with letting the Chairman off the hook for things the Division isn't really expecting him to do this decade.
"Proposition 6": Trophies and awards provided by the Chairman.
Overview:
When the Bylaws were written, all tournaments in the Division were centrally administered. The specific job of providing the trophies and awards for tournaments was delegated to the Chairman (or his appointee). But, currently, most tournaments in the Division are decentralized, happening under the authority and the auspices of the Division, but being mostly or wholly financially independent of the Division. For such tournaments, the Chairman has been failing to provide the trophies and awards, but the members of the Division do not actually expect such either.
Current text:
Article IV -- Officers, Section 1 (Chairman), Sub-Section A Duties of the Chairman, 5: "It shall also be the responsibility of the Chairman or his appointee to purchase and deliver to all scheduled tournaments all trophies, awards, etc."
Motion:
In the Gulf Coast Division Bylaws, in Article IV, append to the text of Section 1, Sub-Section A, part 5: "This shall not apply to such tournaments as may be permitted to be conducted within the Division where the organizing committee is not provided directly by THE DIVISION, and expenses are not paid by The DIVISION. Such tournaments could include, but not be limited to, tournaments for USFA members hosted by clubs within the geographic area of THE DIVISION."
