Yes it is best to stay away from negativity.

The Truth however can be very Postitive and even Liberating 

Todays lesson on truth concerns a document presented in the New Members Package purported to be the Team Structure Voted upon and passed by the Body of the LCRCC

The problem is that so far the Exectutives have presented 3 versions

They are identical in all respects EXCEPT for the portion which concerns the

Membership & Meeting Setup  Team 

There is the original version that was actually Debated, Voted upon and passed

Membership & Meeting Setup – Membership records, meeting setup, credentialing for voting  (Justin Wasson, Mike Dupree, Deb Dupree) 

 Which had Justin Wasson as the Team Leader

There was a second one, where it seems the Executives decided THEY could alter and change what the Committee Voted on and Passed

Membership & Meeting Setup – Membership records, meeting setup, credentialing for voting (Mike Dupree, Deb Dupree, Justin Wasson uncommitted)  

Then the final version in the New Members Package that did not have the members (not that important)

But DID have an alteration of the wording

Membership & Meeting Setup – Membership attendence records, meeting setup, credentialing for voting

There being a difference between Membership records and Membership attendence records, that was rather important.

Call me funny but I think that when presenting what the Body Voted on and Passed one should restict oneself to what actually happened rather than  what one would prefer to have happened

The Secretary has presented his case for his grab of power in the comments to the previous Post,.

I reccomend those reading this pull up another window and look through his claims

As to his claim about how things were done in the past?

That was voided by the vote establishing the Membership & Meeting Setup Team

As to his claim stated previously that Robert's Rules of Order lists Membership records as a Duty of the Secretary?

That is TRUE

Our By Laws however State

 IX. RULES OF ORDER Robert's Rules of Order Revised shall prevail unless modified by these by-laws.

 It is that last Clause Mr Ellis over looks

 unless modified by these by-laws.

 You see the By Laws are very specific about the Duties of the Secretary they state

 3. The duties of the Secretary are to keep the minutes of the meetings and read them at the following meeting, unless waived.

They don't state

 And all other duties listed in Robert's Rules of Order 

The Body rejected the Secretary's claim of authority over the Membership & Meeting Setup up Team

And DESPITE the Section of the County Constitution which states

The Executive Committee is subject to the orders of the Linn County Central Committee, and none of its acts shall conflict with actions of the Linn County Central Committee. 

He keeps making the Claim

I just wish he would refrain from trying to rewrite history and work with the Team

They are willing to work with him 

But his "Work together" 

Seems to consist of them doing what He tells them to do.
