<p>Hang on, hang on... The motions aren't right. The only dispute here is on 700.1.2.2, 700.1.2.3, and 700.1.2.4. The fundamental differences are the dates. </p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>And again, unless you want to be fixing affiliate conventions at Christmas and New Years the dates for submission need to be earlier. And there's the potential bad-weather-overlap problem between district and state.</p>

<p>MOELLMAN</p>
<p>700.1.2.2: A County Party or Metro Party shall conduct the business of their Annual Convention on the second or third weekend in January, and shall be ready to provide notice of the convention to the Executive Committee of the Chartering Party and State Party no later than the second weekend in November of the year prior. <br /><br />700.1.2.3: A District Party shall conduct the business of their Annual Convention on the first or second weekend in February, and shall be ready to provide notice of the convention to the State Party Executive Committee no later than the first weekend in December of the year prior. <br /><br />700.1.2.4: The business of the Annual Convention for the State Party shall occur on the last weekend in February or first weekend in March, and the State Party shall be ready to notice the convention no later than the last weekend in December of the year prior. 700.1.2.5.

<p>700.1.2.5: Notwithstanding the date requirements in this Section 700.1, when any competent governmental authority has declared a weather emergency or state of emergency, any convention may be rescheduled by the applicable executive committee with notice to the State Party Executive Committee, to the following weekend. All notice requirements shall be waived in such instance, but best-effort shall be made to contact all Voting Members in the affected area, given the timeframe and available resources, to encourage wide participation by Voting Members of that Party.<span> </span></p>
<p>700.1.2.6. Notwithstanding the date requirements in this Section 700.1, if a reservation for a planned convention location is canceled by facility, the Party shall inform the State Party Executive Committee and re-notice the new location to all those entitled to notice of convention.

<p>Apologies. Can I get clarification on convention notices?<br /> <br /> Is there a possibility that District/State Conventions could overlap under Wiest's proposal?</p>

Also, regarding 'events' 3 weeks of convention planning is better than 2 (weeks).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Folks:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am attaching the Operating Rules draft that we got through Saturday (in pdf). The stuff in red was stuff in dispute/contention. Black and underlined was items of agreement.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am also attaching a revised constitutional proposal that came out of our meeting (I think this was unanimous, please confirm).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>In term of procedure:</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think if either Mr. Hicks or Mr. Capano would like to vote on the competing proposals in 500.0 related to dues, they can do so. Same with the 500.2 proposal. And the 600.1.3 related to at-large. And 600.5.2.5 related to minutes for committees.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I need votes from everyone on the 700.1.2 provisions related to conventions and scheduling of them. Mr. Moellman's proposal is first, and my alternative proposal is second. If anyone has any alternatives, those are also in order.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please take a look at the 700.1.2.5/7 language about affiliate dissolution. I tweaked Ken's, and it is red, but I think we are really close.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I need votes on 700.1.10 regarding mandating an agenda, particularly at affiliate conventions. Mr. Moellman's is first, my alternative is second.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We need proposals on the following:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: red;">1000.1: in kind donations </span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: red;">1000.2: ethics, nepotism, conflicts of interest </span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: red;">1000.3: party records / open records </span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: red;">1000.4: financial controls and party assets </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: red;">1000.5: default standing convention rules</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was going to take a stab this evening, and looked at Ken's proposals as well. We may have agreement on a good bit of it (maybe 85%), but are likely to have some disagreement on some as well. If anyone else has ideas, those are also in order.</p>
