[sac-board] Re: 7.22.5 Board Meeting Agenda

Gene, 

You are the second person to post that our constitution and bylaws would have 
to be changed in order
to incorporate. Can you explain how and why? The reason that I ask is because, 
(as you already know)
the EVAC C&B is almost an identical copy of SAC's - and EVAC was incorporated a 
decade ago. Just
curious.

I agree there is no need to rush into anything. After all, SAC has existed just 
fine for nearly
three decades without liability waivers or incorporation.

I do not think you can proceed that quickly on such an important issue, as it 
involves changing the
SAC Consititution and Bylaws, which requires that the issue be announced and 
then voted upon at a
later meeting.  It would be desireable to get the Boards' approval or 
recommendation first, however.
So it >could< be presented for the first time to the members at the Friday 
meeting.  I think it
would be premature to take a vote on it before advertising the proposed change 
via the newsletter.
There are a number of details to be worked out with a lawyer (or statutory 
agent) before proceeding,
I think.  You also risk taking up the entire evening with discussion of that 
issue.
I made the suggestion to Thad the other evening that perhaps another workable 
approach would be to
set up a corporation for the events such as the Messier Marathon, rather than 
incorporating SAC....
