[MRSSA News] Updated ByLaws

[mabortz at rockwellcollins.com]

I've made changes in the following areas of the bylaws document.

Mark


Article VI - MAB - Corrected 2_26_08.
Sentence:  Board members must be present to vote. Robert's Rules of Order 
shall be followed. 
Correction:  Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised
 
Article VII Suspension or Expulsion - MAB - Corrected 2_26_08.
Sentence:  3. Each member suspended or expelled shall have the right to 
prompt and equitable resolution of grievances through the exercise of due 
process (See Articles XI, and XII.)
Clarification:  References to Articles XI and XII do not seem to be 
correct.
 
- MAB - Corrected 2_26_08.
I still have a concern with Art XII- Dues, We State 
dues are payable at the anual meeting. (the end of our year) We would have 
a 
hard time prohibiting a competitor from competing for lack of payment when 

they are not due yet. Can we leave this out and simply use the other 
statment by itself?

[MRSSA News] ByLaws Notes






Some points of discussion after reviewing the proposed bylaws:
 
Article III Membership
Sentence:  Every MRSSA affiliated club is encouraged to send a 
representative to the annual meeting to maintain their affiliation. 
Discussion:  It was reported to me that there was discussion at the Fall 
meeting to require a representative from each team to be in attendance at 
the Fall meeting.  Was there action on this?  Minutes?  If so, should this 
sentence reflect that?  Using a more strict word such as required in place 
of encouraged?  Should this be moved to P & P?
 
Article VI Election and Voting Privileges
NSSA Regional Directors are listed with Board voting privileges
Discussion:  NSSA Regional Directors are listed in Article VI, but not in 
Article V Officers.  In Art. V the Executive Board is listed as well as 
the club representatives.  Should the Directors be included in Art. V? 
Since there is only one vote per team, should they not be included with 
voting privileges?  Should there be more than one vote per team with 
Directors being able to vote independently?  Other than club 
representatives, are any positions required to be affiliated with teams in 
the region?
 
Article VI - MAB - Corrected 2_26_08.
Sentence:  Board members must be present to vote. Robert's Rules of Order 
shall be followed. 
Correction:  Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised
 
Article VII Suspension or Expulsion - MAB - Corrected 2_26_08.
Sentence:  3. Each member suspended or expelled shall have the right to 
prompt and equitable resolution of grievances through the exercise of due 
process (See Articles XI, and XII.)
Clarification:  References to Articles XI and XII do not seem to be 
correct.
 
Article X Committees
Discussion:  Four committees are listed and assumed to be standing. 
Committees are also addressed in P & P.  Will these committees be 
appointed and active?  Should these be omitted from the bylaws and left to 
the P & P?
 
I will address P & P in another e-mail.  Will P & P also need to be 
addressed before the NSSA meeting?  There may be a few things we may want 
to explore in depth.  Also of concern, according to current bylaws Article 
XIV - bylaws may be amended by a two-thirds (2/3) majority at any MRSSA 
meeting.
Loosely, a conference call could qualify as a meeting.  The question is, 
would we have enough members that would be able to participate.
 
Thank you for your consideration,
 
JoJo
