From gdunbar at esilibrary.com Wed Dec 14 15:46:17 2016 From: gdunbar at esilibrary.com (Grace Dunbar) Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2016 15:46:17 -0500 Subject: [Eg-oversight-board] Election ROG changes for tomorrow's vote Message-ID: Hi, Attached, please find a copy of the revised revision of the ROG for officer elections as discussed on this mailing list last month. I would like to bring this up for a vote at tomorrow's meeting. The two outstanding pieces we didn't have enough input to proceed on are: A.) a proposal that members newly elected to the EOB (e.g. in their first ever EOB term) may not be nominated to core roles of Chair, Vice-chair, Secretary, or Conservancy Representative? They can, however, be nominated to serve as committee chairs. B.) the Board has been called upon to appoint several new members when elected members have resigned. Personally, I find the Board appointment process to be an issue as it has the potential to change the dynamic of our elected board. Would there be any interest in proposing a change to the rules of governance to require special elections when a Board member leaves with more than 6 months left in their term? Do we have dissenting opinions on these ideas? If not I'm happy to write them up for voting at our next meeting but I'd like to hear any issues/thoughts/ideas first. Thanks!

Message-ID: Generally I think this makes sense. I think we might allow for a contingency where all board members are new. I think it is unlikely but it is probably good to add language to deal with that situation such as. "In the case, the entire EOB is new, the board will elect core roles from from their members."

Name: EOB 2.4 RG proposed revision v2.docx Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document Size: 105875 bytes Desc: not available URL: From gagnon at noblenet.org Tue Dec 20 11:24:52 2016 From: gagnon at noblenet.org (Gagnon, Ron) Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2016 11:24:52 -0500 Subject: [Eg-oversight-board] ROG Amendment Proposals Message-ID: Good morning, At our last meeting I volunteered to develop language for two desired amendments to the Rules of Governance: new Board members not being eligible for officer positions in the first year on the Board and conducting a special election to fill the terms of departing members, rather than having the Board choose a successor. I've drafted some language for both those issues for your consideration. For the second issue, I've assumed the election would be to fill out the remainder of the departing person's term (though I doh't think that was said either way). The first-year issue gets more complicated when you think about it, should there be an influx of new Board members for some reason. The Rules should not lead to a dead-end if there are not sufficient continuing members to fill the three officers and the fiscal rep. slots, or if a continuing Board member was unwilling or unable to serve (we probably should not force them). I think I've addressed all the possibilities, not sure if that waters it down too much from your original concept. It also seemed to make sense to put the new language as a new clause at 2.5.4, following the officer discussion, rather than following three removal clauses, so those three would be renumbered. My new proposed language is in bold on the Word file. Please let me know if this does not meet what you had in mind, or if I've overlooked something. Happy Holidays! Ron -- Ronald A.
