<p>All -</p>
<p>I think it is important to start meeting at some time soon. I am looking for 2 other members to co-sponsor the holding of a meeting on August 24th at the Paul Sawyier library in Frankfort, from 1PM to 4:30PM, with a backup location being one of the hotels in Frankfort with meeting space (if Paul Sawyier fills up before reservations are made). </p>
<p>Further, without officers in the committee, there's a question about where members would submit their proposals from outside of the committee. Once established, all records should be held by the committee secretary (ideally, IMO, on Google Drive)</p>
<p><br /><br />Working backwards through the timeline:<br /><br />March 2020 - state convention<br />Mid-Jan/Mid-Feb 2020 - final Rules Comm report is due<br />Late Nov and All December 2019 - Holidays and vacations<br /><br />It's now about mid-August. </p>
<p>August 17th has multiple events happening the same day.</p>
<p>Therefore, I think August 24th is the earliest reasonable time we can meet to start. </p>
<p>That reasonably leaves Sept, Oct, and the first half of November to do this work, plus a "finalization" during the first two weeks of January. That's only 10 weeks of work, and 2 weeks of any cleanup.<br /><br />In my experience, rules proposals should be taken slowly and considered over time. The ram-rodding of ideas without consideration of the ramifications is what caused the problems post-2017, and while much has been cleaned up, issues still linger that need to be resolved (IMO, anyway).</p>
