Thanks, Scott. That actually helped quite a bit. I have to disagree with you about the charter leaving the website alone, though. It seems to me that pretty much all of section 3.4, about conducting business for the club *might* apply. I'm personally a little on-the-fence about whether or not the ad issue is "business for the whole club", but there's no question that it ought to be clarified. Certainly the leadership shouldn't have to take a vote for every little decision, but the charter isn't clear what types of decisions should and shouldn't require a vote. Oh, and in light of the elections, section 3.3.2 is pretty interesting. Oh, and 3.3.6 too. Section 2.1 probably needs adjusting to include alumni. When changes are made, though, we need to make sure we follow section 3.4's guidelines. -- Lloyd Brown Systems Administrator BYU Supercomputing Lab -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
