Hi Senate,
Earlier last week, the IFC and Panhel talked with Allan. We came to a cons=
ensus in the meeting, thus modifying the proposal you heard at the last mee=
ting. Some of the issues you are talking about right now are included in t=
he changes. As far as the Dorm Presidents go, the UA is simply going to as=
k for DormCon (or whatever we call it) representatives. The constitution o=
f DormCon will govern how they choose representatives, just as in the IFC a=
nd Panhel. The UA will also be required to approve the section in their co=
nstitutions that sends representatives.

I would also be happy to support this proposal with these two changes in pl=
ace. With regard to #1 in particular, I think it would be better for dorm p=
residents to "opt out" of representing their dorm on the Council, rather th=
an "opt in" like Alec proposes.

Hi Senate,
Since we are meeting tomorrow to decide on whether or not to compl=
etely restructure the undergraduate government and there has been no discus=
sion on this list, I figured I'd start.
The current proposal addresses many of the concerns that I and tho=
se I've spoken to have had regarding the UA. Before I vote for this proposa=
l, however, I would like to see the following two changes:
1) Dorm Presidents can appoint delegates to serve in their place on the UA =
Council.
2) Dorm Presidents can split their votes during population votes.
I'm also eager to hear your thoughts on the "compromise" proposal =
sent to this list be Alec Lai.
Thanks,
