Proposed Bylaw Changes 2009
From HacDC Wiki
The following changes are proposed as an ammendment to the bylaws:
Article 2: Section 1
Should be amended to remove all non-voting members. The issue of non-voting members is addressed in Section 7 to allow the Minister of Finance to appoint non-voting honorary members. Thusfar we have found that it's better to vote all honorary members in as full voting members. Doing so should require a membership vote at a regular meeting.
Article 2: Section 2
[FILL IN]
Aricle 2: Section 3
Should be ammended to remove the ability for any meeting of quarum to be able to vote to change member dues. In general we'll need to create a new meeting structure to prevent a small minority of members from taking votes that could drastically alter the organization.
In general, I'd like to eliminate the section from the bylaws. How and under what circumstances we modify dues can be in the standing rules and don't need to be put in the bylaws if we can avoid it.
