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?

Subject [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
