[Lpk-execomm] Amendment of agenda at last meeting violates bylaws

[Ken Moellman]

Stupid talk-to-text mangled that, but you get the point.


To be very clear...

Bylaws section 900 is entirely suspend-able/alterable/default, and 
therefore no big deal.  So we can alter those no matter what.  It seems 
like this sort of rule should be far more explicit about that ability, 
but so be it.  As long as you're going to rule that way on the 
convention floor, that should be fine.


However...

Bylaws section 1100 is not suspend-able by the convention body.  It is 
out of order under RONR to suspend bylaws or other governing documents 
unless those documents specifically authorize that action.  Nothing in 
bylaws gives the membership the ability to suspend 1100 (only the 
Executive Committee).  Section 1100 also provides specific timelines  
which the Rules Committee in order to present a report, which hasn't 
happened.

So the only way to squash 1100 in convention would be to amend the 
section in the constitution, related to bylaws, and ensure they get 
squashed.


And the core question....

Will the only thing in order, under the current rules, until such time 
as they are changed, be my individual proposal which was submitted 
on-time?



(Wouldn't it just be easier to repeal all this stuff since the party is 
violating it all anyway?)
