    3. Committee instructions are posted on the website at http://home.mchsi.com/~sagitta56/ > From: "Phyllis Rippee" <wchs@getgoin.net> > In accordance with Parliamentary Authority, the revised bylaws must be voted > on as a whole unit, since they will be replacing existing bylaws. > > The original charge to the Revision Committee was to "tweak" the existing > bylaws, not to rewrite them. The committee has chosen to rewrite them. > > Since it was an NC who appointed the BRC and continued by the current NC, > the report (i.e. the set of bylaws) when finalized will be presented to the > NC (whoever that is) for one of three actions: Filing away with "Thanks"; > Sending to the voters during the next regular election; Returning same to > committee and asking them to do more work on them. > > Regardless, I find these oppressive; over-stepping the bounds of "good > bylaws" suggested by parliamentary authority; taking away most freedom of > choice from the CCs, SCs or AB members. > > Does that leave any doubt as to how I'll be voting when the time comes? > > Phyllis Rippee > SW/SC CC Representative
