Please Vote: Election Process

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Please vote yes or no on the following issue, which was moved by Karen
and seconded by Bob:

1.) I move that we give the following parameters to Bob McCaw to work into
our bylaws.  

2.) I further move that if it turns out to be a problem to incorporate
using these parameters for bylaws in MA, that we ask Bob's advice how best
to proceed.

3.)  That the governing body of the AGA consist of a Steering Committee
comprised of the Chair, Treasurer, Recording Secretary and 3(?) other
members.  (if we stay with an SC of 6, we will have to give the chair the
ability to break a tie vote in the case that a decision cannot be made by
consensus)

4.) The full membership will elect 2 new SC members each year for a two
year term.  Elections will be on the basis of a majority of ballots
returned.

5.)  The SC will choose a chair from among its own members by majority
vote.

6.)  The SC has the right to remove a member from office for
non-performance or for actions detrimental to the interests of the
organization.  Such a decision requires the majority vote of the SC.  

7.)  A member of the MC will be appointed to the SC by the SC until the
next election.  At that time, the general membership will vote for a
replacement for the remainder of that person's term. (if any)  The same
procedure will be used in the case that an SC member resigns prior to
completion of their term.

8.)  A nominating committee will be formed to perform the functions
necessary to run the elections.  The chair of the nominating committee
will
sit on the MC.

9.)  Nominations for the SC may be made by any AGA member, in writing to
the Nominating committee by {date}.
