Bylaw Amendment 10/8/2009

[JoeP]

Chris:  Within the documents that define RTR operation, is there a real distinction between the Bylaws and Policies?  Maybe, this is at the heart of our disagreement.

I think that Bylaws should govern the most important processes, like elections.  They should be very hard to change.  In my view, they should require a vote of the entire membership.  Policies should define the day-to-day operations on the Club, like expense reimbursement.  They should be changed by Board approval only, with prompt notification of the Membership at a minimum, and preferrably with prior discussion.  By the way, thank you for posting these changes immediately.
