[NCUC-EC] NCUC Bylaw ambiguity on NCUC Chair Term limit

[Ken Herman]

Bejamin, this is indeed an issue that should be addressed. If this can get on the ballot for this election, then it can be addressed without waiting another year.

 

My proposal is to align the NCUC Chair term with the NCSG. 

 

Thus, the bylaws would change as follows:

 

Section IV.

Paragraph D.

 

From: The Chair is elected by the NCUC membership and is responsible for the overall administration of the Constituency.

 

To: The Chair is elected by the NCUC membership for a one-year term and is limited to two consecutive terms. The Chair and is responsible for the overall administration of the Constituency.

Subject: [NCUC-EC] NCUC Bylaw ambiguity on NCUC Chair Term limit

 

Dear Leaders,

Good day. I hope you are doing well.

 

There is an issue I would like to bring to your attention and the need to address the gap.

 

Currently, there is no explicit declaration of the NCUC Chair limit, and the issue has been opened to different interpretations.

 

To avoid future crises, I would like to ask that we amend the NCUC charter to clearly state the term limit of the NCUC chair.

 

Below is the process required to achieve an amendment 

 

 

IX. Changes to these Bylaws
A. Amendments may be proposed by the Executive Committee, by majority vote, or by a
petition of five (5) percent of the then-current active members. Any proposed amendment must
be placed on a ballot for voting by the membership during the next regular election.
B. Bylaws amendments shall be passed if at least two-thirds of the votes cast in the election
favor its adoption provided a quorum of 40% or more of the eligible Individual and Organizational
Members cast a ballot in the election.

 

 

Please let me know what are your thoughts.

 

 

Kind regards,

Benjamin
