Re: AERC Bylaws Suggestions

["Robert Morris" <bobmorris@rmci.net>]

Ramey:

You have me confused! You asked<<<Is it your suggestion that this issue be
deleted from the bylaws and only appear in AERC rules?>>>>

 So I referenced the procedure for putting it in the Rules as an indication
as to where the issue should be.

You replied <<<Your references are some what outdated.  Actually Bylaws are
within the
 province of the Bylaws Committee.   Maybe that's why they named it so.>>>>

Has the procedure for establishing rules been changed???

As for the by-laws Committee, when did this come into existence and how
does its charter and operating procedures read??  I can find no reference
to this committee in the AERC News Committee listing, even though the Board
Minutes of January 25, 1998 indicate the appointment of a chair. Who is on
this committee??  It is very difficult for the membership to function as an
informed body when the necessary information is not forthcoming. Further it
is not in the committee's best interest to operate in a vacuum with minimal
input from the members.
