I threatened (see campechesteel.proboards15.com/index.cgi?board=Division&action=display&thread=1079586617) Bylaw change proposals. Here is the 10th, which, like the 11th, has to do with making Executive Committee meetings less inconvenient for the members of the Executive Committee.
"Proposition 10": Allow members of the Executive Committee to participate in meetings by teleconference or other electronic means.
Overview:
The Bylaws have no provision allowing members of the Executive Committee, to attend a meeting of the Executive Committee by telephone even if the entire Executive Committee desires it to occur. (Note also that as the currently existing copies of the Bylaws read, there is a duplicated phrase "such time and place as" which needs to be corrected.)
Current text:
Article V -- Management by the Executive Committee, Section 3: "Meetings: meetings of the Executive Committee shall be held at such time and place as such time and place as shall be designated by the Chairman and shall be called upon the written request of three (3) or more members of the Committee. All members shall be given not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior notice of all meetings. The Divisional Executive Committee shall schedule meetings at the following times...."
Motion:
In the Gulf Coast Division Bylaws, in Article V, Section 3, substitute "such time and place as" for "such time and place as such time and place as", and insert after "written request of three (3) or more members of the Committee." the sentence "Any member of the Executive Committee may participate in a meeting by telephone or other electronic means unless another member of the Executive Committee participating in the meeting objects."
"Proposition 10": Allow members of the Executive Committee to participate in meetings by teleconference or other electronic means.
