Hi Rob:
I'm sorry if others feel the same way you do.
Let's review this again and leave the question of
the rules governing the conduct of a meeting out of it.
? A committee was formed to review the Club's By-Laws and Regulations.
? On Jan. 20, 2009, Bill VA3OL posted a note to
the Free List saying that the only comments he
had received were from Bill VE3CLQ. That was the
first I was aware that a committee had been
formed to review the Club's By-law and
Regulations. He asked Joan to put the proposed
By-Law and Regulations document in the newsletter
which she did. He also said that input would be
accepted up to and including at the meeting.
? I don't believe that the committee considered
its document the final word. Certainly Bill VA3OL
doesn't based on our correspondence since I posted my comments.
? The committee's document has not yet been
considered at a Club meeting. That's the purpose
of tomorrow night's meeting. Any KARC member can
make changes and offer comments about the
document and it's up to the members present to
accept or reject additional amendments to the committee's document.
? I'm sorry that some people seem to
misunderstand how these things work. Just because
a document was published on the Free List and in
the newsletter doesn't mean it's been approved by
the Club. It hasn't been. What's more, none of my
proposed amendments change substantively the
committee's document; but even if they did, that
is my right as a Club member and I was invited as
was everyone else to make whatever suggestions we
chose to make. There was no deadline other than
tomorrow night's meeting when the vote will take place.
Rob, I truly don't understand your re-action.
This is not a situation akin to the tone issue.
The By-Laws and Regulations haven't been approved
yet. They're currently a recommendation and
everyone is entitled to provide input.
Cheers & 73,
Steve VE3KC
