I would recommend not wasting too much time on the charter. It's really good enough. Sure, we can make little changes like the thing about running explicitly for vice president, but the charter has worked just fine for many years. Maybe I'm just not enough of a parliamentarian to get a kick out of this stuff. UUG leadership is about planning meetings, publicizing events, encouraging participation, helping people, and having fun. I vote for a year of getting our hands dirty and making things happen again. After a year of rejuvenation, we can start talking about charters and amendments and committees if everyone hasn't forgotten yet.
