=== Directors-at-Large ===
Ed Bennet - Accepted - Accepted
I accept the nomination for Director at Large. My platform is to help
update PS1's bylaws and associated structural documents.
In February Lyn Cole, Director at Large, Director at Purple and Wild
Events 2016 formed the PS1 Bylaws Committee. Since March, six volunteers
have donated approximately 300 person-hours to the cause. We used
archived but unimplemented documents and formal legal advice together
with an understanding of how PS1 really operates to craft a better
description of how we get stuff done.
PS1's bylaws are defined in a document that lays out the administrative
structure and basic rules of operating the organization. The bylaws are
our "Constitution" and are basically unchanged since PS1 was an
organization of 50 or so friends. (Our proposed new bylaws document is
17 pages.)
For instance. A common frustration is the bylaws' silence on the Board's
role in discipline and conflict resolution. To address this we added a
requirement that the BoD form a Dispute Resolution Committee that acts
separately from the BoD as a whole. The internal processes and
procedures of the DRC are outside the scope of the bylaws, so we wrote
that as a normal policy to be enacted by a member vote.
The bylaws committee is still in effect. The committee's revision of the
bylaws is currently with the lawyer for review. If there are changes
that need to be made, we'll make the changes and if necessary have the
changes checked. After that, we'll put the new bylaws document up for
member review and vote.
The DRC is a normal BoD committee and can be formed without the new
bylaws being in place. The bylaws committee would like for the DRC
policy vote to happen asap.
The current BoD has not been directly involved in crafting the new
bylaws, but having a BoD member as sponsor is a necessity. Lyn is not
running for the BoD in 2017. I would like to join the BoD to serve as
sponsor and facilitator to move the new bylaws and the DRC policy to a
member vote.
The members of the bylaws committee are
Will McShane, chair
Deanna Williams
Jim Baker
Jonathan BISSON
Andrew Camardella
