David tried to e-mail the bylaw revisions to the list. Word attachments always bounce, so I've put the document up as http://test.thekrib.com/AGAbylaws.htm ---- >From David: Hi all -- Enclosed is our lawyer's working draft of the bylaws for the incorporation of the AGA. The general precept for the process is that the AGA will be run by the Board of Directors. You will notice that not much is prescribed as "must" be done -- rather most things are "may" be dones. Upon my first reading the only comments I have are: 1) We want to provide for all actions, including meetings, to be done via email 2) I think we should provide for the annual meeting to be held the 2nd Friday of November, which coincides with our annual show (hopefully it will be annual?) 3) Section 4 -- this may become known as the "Gomberg clause", as if it were in effect now, Dave (or any otrher member) would not have to negotiate with us for the mailing list -- he would just have to request it. We may want to think this one through a little. There are a few other typos and inconsistencies that I caught, but in general I found this an admirable effort on Joe's part. I think that with some discussion amongst ourselves we should be able to arrive at the final document shortly, and have the AGA incorporated by the November meeting. Please send your comments to me -- I will put together a list of them all and distribute it. Thanks. ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, e-mail majordomo@thekrib.com with "unsubscribe aga-sc" in the body of the message.
