[sac-board] Re: Waivers

 
Jeff, your second paragraph is way off the mark.  My interest in the
amendments are for the All Arizona Messier Marathon and only the All Arizona
Messier Marathon.  There is no hidden agenda to convert this to an annual
renewal processs for becoming a SAC member.  Acutally, the wording of the
amendments is directed towards star parties and NOT membership.

Please read the amendments.

Thanks,
aj

Peter makes some interesting points. He points out that he feels no problem
signing the waivers as they would be ineffectual. While I agree that may be
the case, if the wavers are written to be effectual then one would be
signingaway their rights. So what are the values of having waivers? He also
points out that adding this to the SAC C&B would give the board flexibility.
While this may be true it is pretty guaranteed if it is added it will be
used. All members will be required to sign a waiver when renewing. If they
refuse they will not be allowed to be members. Waivers will probably then be
used at all SAC events, because why is one event more dangerous than
another?Jeff At 08:23 -0700 9/8/05, Peter Argenziano wrote in part: Speaking
personally, I don't see myself as 'stupid' for signing a waiver, as I don't
believe I'm signing any of my rights away. If I was injured by consequence
ofthe club's negligence (I'm not sure what that even means) I think a decent
lawyer could navigate past a waiver, if I was inclined to seek leagl
recourse. I like the way SAC is approaching the use of waivers, by amending
its C&B to allow for their use if the current governing body sees fit. This
allows the club the freedom to make the decision at any point in time
withouthaving to engage in further amending of the bylaws. Peter
