DELEGATES TO CONSIDER BYLAW AMENDMENT - WHAT IS IT'S REAL PURPOSE

-

The Malcontents have brought forward an Amendment to the UCO Bylaws. The entire item may be read on Page A6 of the December issue of the UCO Reporter.

-

The poison pill in this Amendment is contained in the following snippet:

-

"The Executive Board, after due deliberation, shall either approve or disapprove the amendment proposal as presented. The proposal shall then be published in the next issue of the UCO Reporter, and shall then be read and considered by the Delegate  Assembly at the meeting following its publication."

                                       -

the current Bylaw allows the proposed Amendment to expire, if it is rejected by the Executive Board, thus preventing the bogging down of the Delegate Assembly with endless repetitive, frivolous Amendments.

                                      -

So, what is the true purpose of this Amendment? Clearly it is to amplify the ability of this small group of disruptive people to continue their disruptive behavior at our Delegate Assembly meetings.

                                     -

In light of the forgoing, I ask the Delegates to attend in great numbers and reject this Amendment at the meeting on Friday, December 4th. Send the disrupters a clear message.
