Re: MCM - Digest V1 #305

Hi Everyone,
I was away for a few days and now catching up on the last 2 MC reports.

I am OK with the idea of membership voting on the slate of SC candidates. I
previously posed a question about the transition that I do not think was
answered: How are the first SC selected and who, if any, continue from the
current group of 6. Does this have to be spelled out in the bilaws. The
only relevant language I could find is:

Section 3
The Nominating Committee shall consist of three members appointed by the
Chair by June 1. The Nominating Committee shall request nominees for the
SC from among the general membership by an announcement in The Aquatic
Gardener ( next to last issue of the year ). In the event that issue is
delayed, a separate request shall be sent instead, so the ballot can
still appear in the last issue.

I also posed some questions about the brochure which I did not see answers
or discussion. Am I not getting all my AGA-MCM mail?? Can we also review
the process by which the brochure details were agreed upon and decision
made to go public?

Karen repeats my concern about the auction (I do not think we we should
describe the silent auction as a fundraiser...our treasury is pretty fat
isn't it?); I think a split like the NEC is appropriate (60/40 +50/50)...
unless book keeping will make either part unmanageable ..... Because the
brochure went public, maybe all the wording should not change at this
point. Nevertheless, I would like to hear the rationale for the wording.... 
I also would like to hear the rationale for not allowing people to arrive
Saturday morning and skip the banquet. I think that the total cost may keep
some people from attending.
