Weekly bludgeoning: Voting issues
OK, it's time for the recap.
I think that we've all pretty much agreed that the MC will be an advisory
panel, and the SC is the voting-on-issue panel.
We're still very much in discussion on the issue of whether the entire
membership elects the SC or not. Bob McCaw notes that many/most
nonprofits don't let their members vote, while others have noted that
several nonprofits that we're familiar with (ACA, AKA, etc) do actually
give their members voting rights.
I'm confused as to what to do next. If we think we're done with
discussion on these two issues, then the SC should probably move that they
vote on them. Or do we not need to vote on it because this is just going
to be the language that is used for the bylaws, which we would vote on as
a whole?
On that note, should I or someone here be editing the bylaws, or is this
something Bob McCaw will do?
There's still those issues of budgets sitting down on the list, so please
send mail to Davis Lass with your budgets.
Oh, one last thing. I put the link to the conference brochure on the
website for all to see. We are live! I guess I will contact my e-mail
posse on the contest list to get this stuff out to the clubs.

MANAGEMENT
Does MC vote on issues? Entire
SC Discussion
"Up until the TAG vote, the SC has made all the "major"
decisions regarding
the AGA. The MC has been more advisory in capacity, as well
as, in theory,
running various committees. I'm not saying that another model
might not be
better, just that this is how it has been done up until now.
But I think
we ALL agree that AGA could stand with some new ways of doing
business. I
don't have any problem with changing things, but I think we
should make
some decisions on how we think things _should_ be done, and get
it written
down in some fashion so that we don't have to reinvent the
wheel every time
a decision, particularly a contentious one, needs to be made."

INCORPORATION
Does Membership elect the SC? MC/SC
Discussion
Many non-profit organizations do not give their members a
vote. Others,
(the ACA and AKA are given as examples) do have a yearly ballot
for those
interested. We need to make a decision on this.
