Not exactly my point Chris. The fact that I don't have any specific issue with these amendments has nothing to do with my desire for a reasonable process. Transparency without involvement isn't much different than a lack of transparency.

If you go to the thread entitled:
Riesentoter PCA Forum > Club Activities > Membership Meetings. > September membership meeting you will see that I posted on September 23rd that I planned to introduce the correction that we made last night.

Clearly I have hit on an emotionally charged issue that I completely do not understand. These Bylaw changes seem to me to be purely matters of Club operation. I think Joe has it exactly backwards (no offense meant, Joe). The Bylaws are the mechanics (go read them on the web site) and the Policies are matters with which the members should concern themselves. Should there be unapproved conflcits of interest? Now we have a policy against them. Should there be expenses reimbursed without receipts? Now we have a policy that requires receipts. Should the Speed Council grant discounts to whomever it chooses? Now we have a policy that specifies who gets what discount. These are the issues that I think the members should be concerned with, not whether the Board should be able to move a meeting date from one Wednesday to another with months of advance notice.
