-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [NVGEN] [Fwd: [STATE-COORD] bylaws revision] From: Jeff Scism <scismgenie@adelphia.net> To: NVGEN-L@rootsweb.com The thing that bothers me is the change in wording regarding the AB's actions. The way it stands now, both the CCs *AND* the AB have to vote on the issue. The proposed By-Law states that the SC can be removed by a vote of the CCs *OR* the AB. Since 9 constitutes a quorum, the SC could be removed simply by ticking off 5 or 6 AB members. ~~~ >Section 7. State Coordinators and Assistant State Coordinators > >are subject to removal for valid cause; by vote of the Advisory Board, > >or by majority vote of the Local Coordinators within the state > >subsequent to a recall petition submitted to and approved by the > >Advisory Board. > > This does give the AB power to remove immediately without input from the state's ccs. The "Valid Cause" issue would be up to the AB, and the SC and CCs would find themselves expelled from the process without a proper method to redress issues. So what happens if someone the AB doesn't like gets elected? Do they just vote them back out by committee decision? What defense can be used by the accused/removed? No recourse, they are just out. I thionk the Committee should be hearing from CCs andf Scs BEFORE this gets to the voting statge, and gets adopted in this form.
