    ARTICLE IV, Section 6 LIMITATION PERIOD

    Big deal, they reduced the limitation period down from three years to one year. So if the Member’s believe that Management is in gross violation of their charter or some other offense, the Member’s will have to wait an entire year to begin a petition process all over again. Perhaps the only reason the petition process failed the first time was because not enough Members were aware of the situation, but the violation still exists and will perpetuate for another entire year. And don’t forget, the petition has to be approved by the RCSC first?!?!The Fox is watching the henhouse!

    ARTICLE V - BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    Section 1: COMPENSATION OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    The Board shall receive no compensation of any kind for his/her service as a Board of Director.

    (Waste of space. This requirement is already stated in the Articles of Incorporation.)

    ARTICLE V, Section 4: MEETINGS OF THE BOARD

    … At least seven (7) days prior to all Board meetings, excluding Executive Sessions, Informational Meetings and Member/Board Exchanges, an agenda, subject to amendment,... (The board no longer approves the agenda so how do you amend it? And when the agenda is not approved, nothing on the agenda is official and the agenda becomes no more than a suggested or recommended To-Do list)

    Motions made in Board meetings, excluding Executive Sessions, and Member/Board Exchanges, shall be read and passed a minimum of two times by a majority of the then serving Directors before finalized and acted upon unless readings are waived or bylaws are changed which require a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the then serving Directors… (So…here we go again. At least classify these motions as Main Motions! See above. )

    ARTICLE V, Section 4: MEETINGS OF THE BOARD

    Special Meetings of the Board may be called by the President or upon the written request of three (3) or more Board of Directors. The purpose of the meeting shall be stated in the Call for the meeting and posted on the RCSC website. Except in cases of emergency, at least seventy-two (72) hours’ notice shall be given.

    ARTICLE VI – OFFICERS Section 3: “OFFICER” DUTIES says: Call a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors when he or she has received in writing a request to do so signed by a majority of the members of the Board and may call a Special Meeting of the Board on his or her own action;

    (So which is it, 3 Directors or the majority of the Directors?)

    ARTICLE V, Section 5, A:

    10. The Board may amend the bylaws with an affirmative vote of 2/3 of the total membership of the Board of Directors. (It’s nice to see that the bylaws finally mandate a 2/3rds vote to amend them, but where’s the requirement for “previous notice”? ARTICLE V, Section 4 only requires that an Agenda be posted and since the Agenda’s are no longer Approved, they have no official capacity. What if a board member moves to amend the bylaws when it’s his/her time to comment or during New Business? New Business can always be raised at a meeting unless there is a special Order of Business documented as a Special Rule of Order preventing it. So if, in fact, a motion is made by a Director to amend a bylaw at such a time, it would be done without any previous notice to the other members on the board. )
