[NCUC-EC] Bylaws with Track changes

[Mueller, Milton L]

OK, thanks, Farzy, it’s great that you have done all this work.
I have now seen the new Google doc. Before I start messing up what is already a very messy document, let me see if there is some support from other EC members for certain changes.


1.       Policy Committee. The current policy committee is dysfunctional because responsibility is too diffuse, and one can see why by reading the charter. “The policy committee shall be chaired by constituency appointees…” No single chair, left open. Also, it is not clear who appoints the chair. We need to make one, single person responsible for managing the public comment and policy development process within NCUC, and we need to have that person appointed or elected in an accountable way. My question is: who should appoint/elect that person – the EC? The members? The GNSO Councilors? The chair? I would favor either the EC or the Chair.

2.       Ed Morris proposed some tightening up of the membership eligibility rules in the wake of the Peter Green situation. Have those changes been incorporated into these bylaws? It looks to me like they were included.if so, good, we don’t need to do anything more.

3.       In III.G., I suggested adding something giving the EC the authority to review and expel members whose status has changed in a way that no longer makes them eligible for membership.

4.       Who is the “Executive Coordinator” reference on page 9?

5.       Suggested adding something about ballot review. An earlier part of the EC description says the EC reviews the ballot, but later on under part VI Voting it sounds like the chair does it all unilaterally

6.       It isn’t clear from the charter who or what process actually sets the dues. It says “On an annual basis, the Chair will consult with the Executive Committee regarding the appropriate level for dues.” Does that mean the chair can set them unilaterally after consulting with EC? Maybe EC should approve.

Is this still available on Google docs so we can propose changes and make comments?

Hi EC,

Here is the bylaws with track changes . I accepted all the format changes to make it less messy. All the comments and changes appear in the doc. However, some of the comments that we made on the Google doc do not appear. so If you want your comment to appear, check the google doc we worked on and insert it there.

We finalize by Friday and send out to members next week.



Best
