I guess this may be more directed to our NSSA Directors, but does this  need 
to be done before the meeting on Fri. morning?

Mark, Thanks again for your work on this. If this  meets the scrutiny of 
Bruce & Jeff I think we should submit it. If we need  to clean it up we can do 
that later. After all, we have been opperating up to  this point, evan with all 
the mistakes we seem to find. I have not re-read the  P&P but my feelings are 
the same, and it is less critical.

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
