FW: Bylaws

[Thomas C. Weedon]

Jerry,
All the members were sent a K-Factor for January, February, March, April,
May, June, July, Sept/Oct and November, 2002. If you didn't get one please
call Maureen Dunphy. The March K-Factor had the survey for the proposed
by-laws. By the way, these by-laws were a continuation of the work started
by Troy Newman and his team. A few mods were made based on the survey vote,
and then the By-Laws were written in the final form and published. Every
change was voted upon by the membership. The District limits were not in the
old By-Laws and not in the new, either. The boundaries for District 2 were
changed this summer at the officer's meeting when Maryland was moved from D1
to D2. That also was published. The District boundaries have always been set
by the NSRCA BOD, and can change as requested by the membership. There is no
need to fix the boundaries by inserting them in the By-Laws. The NSRCA BOD
voted not to align the NSRCA Districts to the AMA Districts. That also was
in the K-Factor. Maureen published it in her column.

Hope that helps;

Tom Weedon

P.S. Further, at 14.2 bauds per sec, you could down load the new By-Laws in
under a minute.  Try it.

  Tom ,thanks for the answer, but::
  What March K Factor--just now got first one this year, except for the
handout at the NATS, and it did not mention this.
  With my phone line the best I can ever do is 14.2, so therefore  I do not
download anything
  What K Factor month was the tally displayed to the Membership?
  The fact that there was nothing in them before that defined how the
Districts were established, and structured, does not make the omission  in
the new ones correct.
  What in the old ones (Bylaws) authorized establishing the Districts as
were previously set. I have heard a lot of discussion in the past about
changing the Districts to match AMA, but there were always excuses/no
rationale for not doing anything.
  By the new Bylaws, omissions are kicked back to what AMA has--is this a
new  change?  If not, we have not been operating to the Bylaws in the
past.Why not?
  I joined after 1990--so have no record--I wonder who knows they are there.

    Jerry,
    The By Laws revision proposals were in your March 2002 K-Factor, in the
center. It was a tear out that you were supposed to fill out, then tear out,
then insert in an envelope and mail in. Did you do it as requested?

    The old By-Laws was on our national web site www.nsrca.org for three (3)
years. Did you bother to look or print out a copy? I'll send you a copy in
Word or PDF if you want.

    The vote was tallied for each proposed change, and only those that were
accepted by the membership was included in the final version.

    There was nothing in the old By-Laws detailing the boundries of the
NSRCA Districts, nor the number of the Districts.

    The old By-Laws were last changed on December, 1990. You will find them
in the K-Factor from that date.

    Hope that helps,

    Tom Weedon
