I move to amend Motion 00-30 as follows. Amend Paragraph 1 FROM: [The committee shall be composed of at least one CC from each region and one SC selected by the representative at large. The committee chair shall be chosen from candidates put forth during the discussion period and an amendment made to this motion reflecting that choice. The NC will sit on the committee as provided for in the Bylaws.] TO: The committee shall be composed of at least one CC from each region and one SC selected by the Representative at Large. But in any event an odd number of committee members shall be appointed so as to prevent tie votes. Richard Harrison will serve as the committee chairman. The Chairman will select a co-chairman from among the committee members. The NC will sit on the committee as provided for in the Bylaws. Amend Paragraph 2 FROM: [The committee once seated will number each grievance, research the background of each and make a recommendation to the Board for a fair resolution of each complaint within 10 days with ten day extensions granted at the request of the committee chair. The committee must keep in mind the limited authority granted the Board in the Bylaws to resolve grievances.] TO: The committee once seated will number each grievance, research the background of each and make a recommendation to the Board for a fair resolution of each complaint within 10 days with ten day extensions granted at the request of the committee chair. Any committee member(s), except the NC, named in a complaint will be excused from hearing and voting on that complaint and an alternate(s) will be selected by the chairman or his co-chairman to insure an odd number of votes. The committee must be mindful of the limited authority granted the Board in the Bylaws to resolve grievances.

But in any event an odd number of committee members shall be appointed so as to prevent tie votes. Richard Harrison will serve as the committee chairman. The Chairman will select a co-chairman from among the committee members. The NC will sit on the committee as provided for in the Bylaws.
