[CAUT] Proposed Admendment to PTG ByLaws

[Chris Solliday]

Hi Dennis,
You have gotten it out there, now the discussion should follow on PTG-l as Avery correctly suggests. Unless of course folks want to jump the format, which is fine too.
You have miss stated your problem somewhat, however, the Board and Bylaws could not accept the proposal because you were late submitting it. You have two choices left to you. The first is to bring it back on time next year which is probably the better choice if you must have a bylaws amendment, or the second, to fight it out as a floor submission which requires 3/4 vote in favor. That I do not recommend. I also recommend that you seriously consider the Bylaws com comment regarding implementing your concern through Board policy rather than attempting a Bylaws amendment proposal. In fact you might get somewhere immediately by contacting David Estey, who is Chairperson for the Marketing Com, and is as we read is undertaking a review of our marketing practices on our website.
Best regards,
Chris Solliday. nervp

  Hi Avery-

  Perhaps...  but the primary objective here is to get members, and especially members who do a lot of public concert work, to think about this- to consider it's merit and perhaps a more effective way to propose this in the future.  I could be mistaken, but it's my impression that this list engages much more concert techs and concert related issues.  Agreed- I don't think this is the place for detailed discussion about specific bylaws and politics, but I hope it's fair enough just to get the message out there and provoke some thought on the matter.  It's not a trivial thing. 


  thanks,

  Dennis Johnson
