Hi everyone
Thanks all who responded to the member nominations and confirmations, and Board
nominations. That period closed on December 7.
Later today, I'll be putting together the ballot for Board election, and
emailing that directly to members. Elections will end on December 14.
At the same time, new members will need to be approved by the current
membership.
This will happen by asking for any objections to the new members, and if there
is "significant" objection, the Board will need to decide how to handle it.
New members will be asked to vote in the Board elections, but their vote will
not be counted until they are approved.
The new Bylaws also need to be approved by the majority of the membership, in
order to complete 501(3)c applications. The good news is that our legal advice
is now that the asset beneficiary does not need to be explicitly indicated in
the Bylaws, we can simply say that it should be an organization that works to
further a similar mission to HOT.
