<br><font size=2><tt>I still have a concern with Art XII- Dues, We State
<br>
dues are 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 are not due yet. Can we leave this out and simply use the other <br>
statment by itself?<br>

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

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Article X Committees</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">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 size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">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 size=3 face="Times New Roman">bylaws
may be amended by a two-thirds (2/3) majority at any MRSSA meeting.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">Loosely, a conference call could
qualify as a meeting. The question is, would we have enough members
that would be able to participate.</font>
