I was reviewing the bylaws and came across a couple of sections that may be due for an update. I'm posting them here for discussion. But, according to section 12 of the bylaws, the tier 2 members need 21 days notice to vote on any changes. That means today is the last day bylaw changes can be proposed. So I offer my observations here for discussion and (hopefully) a quick decision on if a change needs to be voted on: (note: the bylaws can be seen at http://clug.ca/bylaws.php)
(The Guild is established - do we still need this clause? The second sentance is needed, but the first just doesn't seem applicable anymore.) 3.0 The applicants for not-for-profit society status shall become the first or provisional Executive Board of the Guild, hereinafter referred to as the "Board". Each Executive during his/her tenure of office shall be an active Tier Two (2) Member of the Guild. (This information is duplicated in section 8.2) 3.2 Meetings of the Board shall be called by seven (7) days notice by electronic mail or three (3) days notice by fax or telephone. Any three (3) members shall constitute a quorum, and meetings shall be held without notice if a quorum of the board is present, provided however, that any business transactions at such meeting shall be ratified at the next regularly called meeting of the Board; otherwise they shall be null and void. (I'm curious about the reasoning for this one...) 3.5.f No more than two (2) Executive Board Members may be employed or primarily contracted by the same company. In the case that an Executive Board Member becomes employed or primarily contracted by a company already represented by two other positions on the Board, that person must vacate the Board position within 30 (thirty) days of such change taking place. The duties and responsibilities of every position is stated, except for the Vice President. Am I maybe looking at an older version of the bylaws?
