September membership meeting

[JoeP]

Chris:  I believe that our Club should have a well defined and transparent procedure that outlines how members can submit, discuss, and vote upon proposed changes to the Bylaws if they disagree with the Board.  Nothing more.  I am not advocating any particular set of rules.  We simply need rules of some sort. 

Of course, National's bylaws are silly in our case.  I copied them only to make the point that if Papa Bear has a well defined procedure in its Bylaws, then Baby Bear can too.  I understand that a real attorney might be reticent to add language to the Bylaws since RTR might be legally covered by PNCL or something.  However, laymen like the rest of us need a scripted set of instructions.  Otherwise, when things happen, it appears that they come out of the blue even though I can tell that you are very scrupulous in these matters and take your responsibility very seriously.

For now, I would be happy with a simple posting in this forum or on RTR's website.  You can make it as simple as you like.  Please - I really, truly do not know how it should be done.
