Friends,

I would like my other regionals to consider joining me in appealing the
ruling of the chair in which he stated that regional agreements were
expected to be turned in end of day yesterday, the 23rd.

My basis for argument is that while the bylaws do indicate that agreements
must be turned in by the second day of convention, many of us found that
out 10 or so days, maybe less, before the agreements were due which, under
normal circumstances are completed at the regional caucus. Because of this
pressure and the stressors of getting the e-convention put together, I
think there was a sufficient time constraint put on us.

Due to to the emergency circumstances, we agreed to have this meeting for
the sole purpose of electing our President and Vice president. All other
business was to be put off to our in person. Regional formation should be
no different. The idea is that the region forms at the close of convention,
not the beginning.

I held off on my appeal to see if there would be an issue. Reading the
secretary's email from this morning, we technically may now have several
states that are orphaned because a signed contract was not turned in on
time.

I would like the chair's ruling overturned that agreements were due last
night and, if the chair insists that they are due before our in person,
that he give a date to complete the agreements by a reasonable time in the
future but before our in person gathering. The unusual circumstances that
affected the separation of our elections and caused our election to become
something other than expected should also be considered for regional
agreements.
