<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

payable at the anual meeting. (the end of our year) We would have a <BR>hard
time prohibiting a competitor from competing for lack of payment when <BR>they

by itself?<BR></TT></FONT>

III Membership</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sentence: </FONT><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>Every MRSSA affiliated club is encouraged to
send a representative to the annual meeting to maintain their affiliation.
</FONT><BR><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>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?</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2> </FONT> <BR><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>Article VI Election and Voting Privileges</FONT> <BR><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>NSSA Regional Directors are listed with Board
voting privileges</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>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?</FONT>

size=2>Article X Committees</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>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?</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3> </FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>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 - </FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman"

meeting.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Loosely, a conference
call could qualify as a meeting. The question is, would we have enough
