[OldNorth] FW: By-laws

By-laws
Message below from Tom Cross

In response to John L.'s & Dan Q.'s inquiries regarding the by-laws.  Here
is the section in question.


12. Amendments
These Bylaws may be amended by a unanimous vote of the Board of Directors in
which all seven
members vote, by a majority vote of the membership at an Annual Meeting, or
by a majority vote of the
membership in a mail ballot. Thirty (30) days notice must be provided to all
members prior to a vote to
change the bylaws. Such notices shall include any proposed changes to the
bylaws.


1) From my notes we gave notice at the two prior meetings about the
discussion, and in the news letter giving more than 30 days public notice.
If this is not to the letter of the by-laws it is with the spirit.


2) Yes we may not have provided the proposed changes prior to the meeting,
this is not illegal because their was not any intent.  I think it is more of
a function of inexperience, and we tried to follow the spirit of the
by-laws.


3) The BOD voted 7-0 in favor of the change.


I propose that if any other associate member except John L. & Dan q. has a
problem with the changes to the by-laws please forward them to the board.
If so then the 03/04 BOD may inquire to the changes properly.  If not then
let the changes stand.


Here are the changes once again.


The specific wording that was changed to is as follows:
9.3 Proxies.
9.3.1  The Association shall not allow the use of proxy or absentee vote.
9.3.2  The Association shall not allow the use of proxy vote for
monthly Board Activities.
9.3.3  The Association shall allow the use of absentee vote for the
use of Annual Board of Directors Election.


Thank you for your time.

Tom
