→This proposal ends up giving the Board new powers
::Actually, I think I need to disagree with this. While this does grant the board additional powers to create temporary policies without waiting on a member vote to confirm them, it does not make any change to the bylaws, i.e. [[Bylaws#Issues Proper for a Vote of the Directors]]. So this wouldn't suddenly overrule the bylaws and grant the board the power to set arbitrary policies, however temporary they may be. A change to the language might still be in order to clarify that this does not change the bylaws though. --[[User:Justin|Justin]] ([[User talk:Justin|talk]]) 12:02, 5 May 2015 (CDT)

:::Justin, that logic is contradictory. You assert that this policy proposal does not make any change to the Bylaws, nor does it overrule the Bylaws. The Bylaws give the Board the power "to decide on issues" "to fulfill any obligations to ensure the health of the organization". That is the grounds under which the Board created the three insurance-related policies that it did. If it is true that this policy proposal is not changing the Bylaws or overruling them, then it follows that the policy proposal cannot remove any powers from the Board that the Bylaws grants. --[[User:Rdpierce|Rdpierce]] ([[User talk:Rdpierce|talk]]) 00:12, 6 May 2015 (CDT)
