Yes to grant the BRC's request to rescind

You'll have until 10 p.m. EST Saturday, January 8, 2005 to cast your

*Subject: [BOARD-L] BRC Request
*
*
*The following request was received from the Bylaws Revision *Committee
on *Dec. 6, 2004:
*
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------
*To: USGenWeb Advisory Board
*From: Bylaws Revision Committee
*Subj: Rescind Motion 04-13D
*
*The Bylaws Revision Committee requests the Advisory Board *rescind
motion *04-13D.
*
*Adopted by vote of 12-0 .....that the proposed revisions be reworked in
*such *a way that they can be presented to the general membership as
separate *amendments, in order that the general membership may vote to
accept, or *reject, each individual amendment.
*
*Numerous times during the revision process the committee chair has
*posted *(to numerous lists) the excerpt below from the adopted
parliamentary *authority indicating the bylaws revision vote should be
*presented as the *current (original bylaws) .... a single yes/no vote
to adopt *or reject.
*
*>From Sturgis pg 209-
*"A revision proposes, in effect, a new set of bylaws, and the revision
*is *presented, considered, and voted upon under the same *procedures as
those *followed for the adoption of the original bylaws."
*
*The BRC is very concerned with the end result if the *membership votes
on *each article as individual amendments. The revision is intended to
*"replace" *existing bylaws. More than two years work has consistently
supported a *single vote on a revision as defined at
*http://home.mchsi.com/~sagitta56/PA.htm . The process has *eliminated
one *current article combining its content into another article and
partial *text *from other articles has been combined into other
appropriate *articles/sections.
*
*The desire that members have maximum voice regarding each article by
*vote *puts the right of the organization to function effectively from a
*cohesive *"set of bylaws" in jeopardy. The adoption of 04-13, although
legal, is *contrary to the parliamentary authority.
*
*Approved by;
*Roger Swafford
*Ron Henson
*Paulette Carpenter
*Don Kelly
*Sharon Tabor
*Bob Sweeney
*Denise Wells
*Vicki Shaffer
*Gloria B. Mayfield
*Dennis Muncrief
*
*Opposed by;
*
*Not voting;
*Shari Handley (NC ex-officio)
*Bettie Wood
*
*---------------------------------------------------------------

*
*Is there any discussion regarding this request?
