Talk:First Draft Bylaws

Article II, Section 1.2 and 2.1 have duplicate information: "A member is eligible for a position of the Board of Directors if they have remained an active member for at least 3 months. " "A regular member has the right to run for a board member position if they have remained an active member for at least three months. "

Article II, Section 2.2.1: The responsibility for leading the meetings is defined here, but not the coordination or announcement of the meetings.

Article II, Section 2.2.1.3: "He or she shall publish a monthly financial report." Financial report to me means "How much money do we have in the coffers." I'm cool with that, as long as everyone is on the same page. But it might be advantageous to define what's expected in the report. I certainly wouldn't want to be required to report on fiscal forecasting every month.

Article II, Section 2.2.1.3: "The Treasurer shall also perform such additional duties as are assigned by the Board of Directors." This should either be moved to a more general section like Article II, Section 2.2.1 (having it apply to all board offices), or strike it and leave it implied.

Article II, Section 2.3 "...monthly pledged contribution." I'm interpreting this as there are other options than currency donation as a monthly pledged contribution. I'm ok with that, I just want to make sure that was the intent.

Article III, Section 1 This section appears to be membership proposal themed more than "all proposals" themed. Recommend either making it more general so it applies to all proposals, or creating a new section for standard proposals.

Article III, Section 2 I don't understand the benefit of semiannual terms yet, but it sounds interesting. Can someone share a pros/cons outlook on this vs. annual terms?

Article IV, Section 1 We rarely agree 100% with each other. Have we considered hypermajority (70%)?

Article V, Section2: "Any remaining assets of the organization must be donated to a charitable, educational, or scientific endeavor." Recommend changing to "Any remaining assets of the organization must be donated to an IRS 501c3 compliant charitable, educational, or scientific endeavor."
