**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)

**
**Is there any discussion regarding this request?
