Author: Christian Hain<br/>
Status: Postponed Indefinitely
-----
=== Section and Title ===
Section 6. Voting. Paragraph A.
=== Currently Reads As ===
“A proposal must be announced by submitting it to the Secretary in writing at a business meeting or by emailing its full text to the Secretary no later than 14 full days prior to the business meeting at which it will be considered. The Secretary shall post the full text of any proposal to be considered at a business meeting to an appropriate page on the <s>OutWorlders website</s> no later than 7 full days prior to that business meeting and shall announce the posting to the <s>OutWorlders Facebook group</s>. If a proposal is amended during discussion at a business meeting, then it cannot be adopted prior to the subsequent business meeting.”
=== Proposed Amendment ===
“A proposal must be announced by submitting it to the Secretary in writing at a business meeting or by emailing its full text to the Secretary no later than 14 full days prior to the business meeting at which it will be considered. The Secretary shall post the full text of any proposal to be considered at a business meeting to an appropriate page on the '''<u>Organization's website</u>''' no later than 7 full days prior to that business meeting and shall announce the posting '''<u>via official communication methods</u>'''. If a proposal is amended during discussion at a business meeting, then it cannot be adopted prior to the subsequent business meeting.”
=== Rationale ===
To remove specific mention of technologies and to consistently refer to OutWorlders as
“the Organization.”
