Bylaws

[Lamar Blair]

Tom I am not getting into the bylaws thing but I must say as a member I did not receive that many K-Factors this year I can not believe that only Aug was missed this year. I quit advertising in the K-Factor because we were not getting any and yes my dues were paid before you ask Tom. :-) I have checked the NSRCA web site most of the year and I am sure that I did not miss any that was on the site maybe I did I only see Feb, March, and Nov on the web site am I or did I miss the other ones that you are talking about if so can you email me the PDF copy.

  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
