By-Laws - Third Revision.

[SteveColes]

Doug just sent me the next revision of the By-laws. I've upload it. Please review and comment ASAP

 

[SteveColes]

Ok, there are a few inconsistencies in terminology. And we are pretty close. There is something wrong with the flow and I can't put my finger on it. But as an example, The role of the VP/Internet Operations is described in the "Purposes and Objectives" section. But I think it should be described in one of the sections under "Officers" But then something else is wrong.

I guess, it something like circular definitions:BangHead::help:

It is in the Officers section from the beginning. I added the earlier references in section III to put more emphasis and prominence on the website and the role of the administrator as per your comments. I was also trying to make clear that the BoD does not need to be involved on that level.

We could state in section II that the website in administered by the designated Officer(s) as set forth in later sections and leave out the specific functions in section three. We just need to make sure that w move any important language from section III to the Officer's section.

Second, I do not have a good answer yet for issue you brought up Steve :tinysmile_cry_t:
But I'm thinking!

Third, here are a couple of typo/grammatical observations :mrgreen:

Article II

At this point, we have been stalled. We really need action, now!

Ok, I think if under Article II, we remove/move section 2.A & 2.B, my first concern would be addressed.

Also, I think the levels of markup in the document have reached a point where I can't follow what's going on:eusa_thin:tongue2: It might be time to set the base to it current state and begin again.
