The new bylaws were primarily authored in 2000 by the bylaws committee, chaired by Steve Rutter, with input from the legal committee chaired by Richard Maxwell. The current bylaws and legal committee is composed of John Parke and Richard Maxwell. The question of who knows the WHY of a given thing in the current bylaws might fall to one of these people.
As to the establishment of the dues and fees structure, it is clearly the responsibility of the Board of Directors in both the new and old bylaws. Does the Board need to have a specific motion establishing those dues under the new bylaws prior to Dec 1 2002, the start of the next membership year or is there some mechanism for the old structure to be automatically in place if the new bylaws are approved? johnt =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
