Proposed Bylaw Change - Board Size & Quorum
| 
Sep 27 13:56 UTC 2010 |
This is a proposal to change our bylaws, reducing the size of Grex's Board of
Directors and the number of board members necessary to meet quorum.
Presently, there are seven board members and this proposal asks that to be
changed to five. Quorum would change from five to three board members present.
This proposal would simply substitute the new numbers for the old. The current
bylaws state: **************************** ARTICLE 3: BOARD OF DIRECTORS
a. The Board of Directors (BOD) shall consist of seven individual members of
Grex, and shall include a
chairperson, a secretary, and a treasurer.
d. The BOD shall hold face-to-face meetings on a regular, bimonthly basis, and
in addition may hold special meetings if necessary. A quorum consists of five
BOD members. A board member will be considered to be in attendance at a
meeting if he or she is physically present at the location of the meeting, or
if he or she can, via a telephone or other electronic system, hear and be
heard by all the other attendees.
*****************************
With the proposed amendments the bylaws would read:
*****************************

*****************************
These changes are now up for discussion for two weeks. During that time 10% of
the membership will need to endorse the proposal in order for the proposal to
qualify for a membership vote.
We have very few members at present. Very few. Please consider sending in $18
to qualify as a voting member and be part of the process.
