Bylaw amendment 4

• Proposed: April 3, 2012
• Voted on: April 24, 2012
• Vote result: pending

In keeping with our tradition of not making rules until we need to, I propose the following amendment. This amendment will make it so that an application will only be rejected if the board accepts the objections to the application. This will help to ensure that only serious and legitimate objections result in an application being denied.

Current

If two or more members object to the granting of membership to an applicant, the board must not approve the application for membership.

Proposed

If two or more members object to the granting of membership to an applicant, a board decision will determine whether the application for membership will be approved.

If two or more members object to the granting of membership to an applicant, an ordinary resolution of the members will be required for the membership to be approved.

Result

Pending.
