For the most part this section is fine. One thing that does need to be |
2 |
changed is the following |
3 |
|
4 |
"when requested in writing by not less than ten percent (10%) of all |
5 |
members entitled to vote at the meeting." |
6 |
|
7 |
I think we can exclude the last bit, entitled to vote at meetings. |
8 |
Members aren't voting at meetings, board members, and officers are. Thus |
9 |
simply 10% of them writing in calling for a special meeting should be |
10 |
suffice. |
11 |
|
12 |
Also I am not sure we need to spell out the last part of who makes the |
13 |
official call for the meeting. I guess it can't hurt, if that goes along |
14 |
with duties and roles. But really any member of the board or officer |
15 |
could. Providing they have and could provide upon request, 10% or more |
16 |
of the members written requests for a meeting. |
17 |
|
18 |
One thing to think about. Do we want 10%+ of the members individually |
19 |
emailing in calling for a meeting? Kinda seems like the place for a |
20 |
petition of some sort? If individual, might also need to re-word writing |
21 |
to mean/say emailing? also maybe provide an address where to email? |
22 |
trustees@g.o Pretty sure we can/should include details like that |
23 |
in by laws. |
