Area Hosts and Volunteer Positions Vote (view source)
Revision as of 00:46, 9 October 2013
, 00:46, 9 October 2013no edit summary
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.
