Update – As I mentioned above, I have continued to seek answers on why amending a main motion at the state body is not permitted. Unfortunately no answers of substance have been provided. I have sent a letter to each member of the Executive Council explaining the concerns regarding this issue and have asked each to carefully look into this. This is an important issue warranting better answers from our leaders to the members!
Our bylaws allow for a special meeting of the Executive Council and they can ultimately overturn Richard’s interpretation. In order for the meeting to take place (which I have planned for Sunday in Salina prior to the State Body meeting if not before) has to be requested by 4 members of the Executive Council, representing at least 3 Districts. These members include your District Director, Assistant Director and Freestyle Representative. If you have any concerns on this issue I strongly encourage you to drop a note to one of your directors (their email address can be found on the Directors page on the left) asking them to request a special meeting to at least discuss this issue. The deadline for the notice of this special meeting must be given by Wednesday the 28th!!!! If a request is not made for a special meeting the chances of this dying increases dramatically. This is an important issue and I believe transparency is critical. If you have any questions please feel free to email, pm, call me or post them.
