Talk:Standing Rules/@comment-26318783-20150707162402

A reminder of homework assignment from June Board Meeting. Also some general comments made at that meeting.

Homework:

1) Look over Standing Rules published online, in the "board only" section.  For each rule, determine whether it needs to be included in the Membership directory.  Then, if it needs to be included, should it actually be included in the Bylaws?

2) Brainstorm a better name for the Standing Rules included in the directory.  This way it can be just a selection of the Standing Rules and not all of them.

Comments:

Technically, these Standing Rules are NOT part of the Bylaws. This means we can revise them before the directory is reprinted, but we do NOT need them to be voted upon by the general membership. This means we have more time (until October) to actually decide what gets listed and what to call them. The only way this is related to the timeline for the Bylaws is if we decide to incorporate any of them into the Bylaws. [editorial comment: so, just don't decide to incorporate any of them into the Bylaws...]  One Standing Rule has been incorporated - the fiscal year is now included in Article IV - Dues
