I am hereby proposing the following amendment to the Bylaws: == Begin Bylaw Amendment == Amend Section 6.4.2 of the SYN/HAK Bylaws to read as follows:
The Board of Directors shall meet not less than once per year for the purposes of organization, election of board members, and transaction of business. Notice of this meeting, and its time, place and agenda thereof must be communicated to the board and general membership at least five (5) days in advance. No business other than that included in the agenda of the meeting shall be considered. No Annual Meeting shall exclude a member of this corporation who is in good standing from attending. == End Bylaw Amendment == The purpose of this amendment is to limit the power of the board, and to put in place similar restrictions on power that the membership currently must abide by. Today, if a board meeting is called, a topic can be brought up at a meeting and immediately voted on, without any chance of the membership having the opportunity to review said topic, express their opinion, or provide input. Credit goes to the University of California Board of Regents, from whom I borrowed some wording. This is a formal proposal for the membership to discuss at the meeting tonight, March 11, 2014.
