<DIV>The "acid test" for rules/bylaws is this:</DIV>
<DIV> Does the rule/law serve the betterment of the
effort?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If no, rule is not needed and can be discarded.</DIV>
<DIV>If yes, rule-writing is complete.</DIV>
<DIV> No further action needed.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2><FONT size=2>This message is to the
future board of the NSRCA. </FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2><FONT size=2>The current
bylaws were the first attempt for many years to really overhaul the
previous bylaws. The old bylaws were very lacking in many areas. They relied
upon experience being passed on from elected member to elected
member.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2><FONT

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2><FONT size=2>I took all that I
had gathered in my years of NSRCA service and took a crack at producing new
ones. Admittedly it was a bit of a solo effort and, despite a voting
process that was involved, it is becoming clear that they could do with some
more inspection. </FONT></FONT></DIV>

process and to address 21st technology capabilities. I would suggest that our
future board form a Bylaws sub-committee, The BSC needs to go over what
we have, recommend changes and update the bylaws as per the bylaw
process.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2><FONT

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2><FONT size=2>I can think of quite a
few changes that need to made after this last election cycle and
<STRONG>before</STRONG> District-VP elections hit us in November/December
2005. I also think that it needs to be someone with a passion for this stuff,
other than myself. Some of you out there showed high degrees of interest and
would be great candidates for the task.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The bylaws should make it possible for succession to take place smoothly
and make it easy to handle process and procedural issues without having to
reinvent the wheel every time.</DIV>
