FYI,
several main motions and primary amendments were in fact posted.
also, as per our standing policies, i can allow any motions on the floor
at my discretion and the chapter may overrule me by a simple majority.
Further, the policy states that they must be submitted in writing before
discussion on the matter may begin.
i did not specify who could post because anyone who was duely initiated
or is a pledge of AXcoAPO may submit a motion or an amendment. As per our
bylaws.
There are two corrections i wish to post: First, the posting of main
motions and primary amendments is required by standing policy (last renewed
9/25/93). Second, the submission in writing prior to any action on the matter
is required by bylaws Art. VII, sec. 5. apologies for any confusion. i don't
make dumb errors when i'm prepared. X-)
YiLFS,
Charley
