NALRC Board Meeting February 25, 2009

Motion 1: Standing Rules

The Rules Committee has recommended the following motion in regards to the Standing Rules of the club. "The Rules Committee has found that the compiling and keeping of Standing Rules is superfluous and unnecessary due to the fact that the club has several committees in place to address the keeping of rules on specific topics. We believe that each established committee needs to be the steward of their own rules, such as sweepstakes rules, national show rules or live auction rules, etc. As it is now, any changes to those rules are already being brought to the Board for approval by the committee, and the Rules Committee has not been directly involved. Further, any items not covered by the current Constitution and By-Laws would have to come to the Board for a vote as well. (such as covering COD holders' entries, paying for odd items, etc.)"

This motion would result in an additional amendment to the NALRC By-Laws.

Current wording:

Article IV: Standing Committees, Section 3a: Rules Committee

*Shall be responsible for reviewing, receiving, and/or proposing amendments to the Constitution, By-Laws, and Standing Rules of the NALRC

*Shall receive and review any proposals for conflicts with the current documents or the ARBA. They shall make suggestions for revisions as deemed necessary.

*Shall keep up to date and complete records of the standing rules of the club.

RECOMMENDED WORDING CHANGE:

Article IV: Standing Committees, Section 3a: Rules Committee

*Shall be responsible for reviewing, receiving, and/or proposing amendments to the Constitution and By-Laws of the NALRC

*Shall receive and review any proposals for conflicts with the current documents or the ARBA. They shall make suggestions for revisions as deemed necessary.
