* Area Hosts have responsibility for "tasks within designated areas of the building." The Board currently does not have the authority to create positions with incentives such as free membership that are not tied to designated areas of the building. For example, the Board could not create a Membership Coordinator position to respond to member communications and keep our membership database updated because these tasks are not tied to areas of the building.

This vote proposes eliminating the language in the Bylaws creating Area Hosts and instead empowers the Board with more general powers to create Volunteer Positions at will, to define the responsibilities of these positions, to appoint and remove people who will serve in these positions, and to assign incentives for these positions.
This vote proposes eliminating the language in the Bylaws creating Area Hosts. The consensus is that the Bylaws should not define operational details such as this, and the current draft of the revised Bylaws does not include Area Hosts, requiring that the positions be redefined as a policy. This proposed policy instead empowers the Board with general powers to create Area Host positions and Volunteer Positions at will, to define the responsibilities of these positions, to appoint and remove people who will serve in these positions, and to assign incentives for these positions.
Note that while this vote eliminates the current Areas and Area Hosts, if enacted, the Board is expected to vote to re-create all of the existing Area Host positions as "Volunteer Positions" under the new powers granted to it and to assign the incentive of free full membership to these positions.

== Area Hosts and Volunteer Positions Policy ==
The Board of Directors may, by vote, designate Areas of the building to be managed by Area Hosts. Each Area Host position will have a defined description or set of responsibilities, which may be amended at any time by a vote of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors may, by vote, appoint one or more persons to serve in a defined Area Host position, provided that said persons are not Officers or members of the Board of Directors. Should a person holding one or more Area Host positions become an Officer or member of the Board of Directors, that person's appointments to all Area Host positions automatically terminate.
A person's appointment as an Area Host shall continue until one of the following events occurs:
* The person appointed resigns as Area Host by delivering notice to the Board of Directors.
* The membership of the person appointed lapses or terminates.
* The Board of Directors votes to remove the person's appointment.
* The Board of Directors votes to eliminate the Area Host position.
Each Area Host position may confer incentives upon the person or persons holding it. Incentives are optional, need not be identical for all Areas, and may be created, modified, or removed by vote of the Board of Directors. Incentives include and are limited to:
* A specified reduction of monthly dues, or
* A specified monthly award of one or more Membership Rewards Points.
The Board of Directors may, by vote, create Volunteer Positions. Each Volunteer Position must have a title and a defined description or set of responsibilities, which may be amended at any time by a vote of the Board of Directors.
