Ok Steve;
I made a mistake about saying anything. So I apologize. Let's please just
drop this so we can remain friends. Yes I know you have the right to discuss
ammendments prior to the vote. My initial email was to query why these
ammendments were not brought up earlier since we would be spending a lot of
time debating and voting on the merits of such ammendments.
Please accept my apology. I will try in the future to follow my own advice to
Never miss an opportunity to shut up.
Cheers,
Robert Parker

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
