make it clear that that Sustaining members are organizations and that the
organization appoints their board representative. That will clearly
differentiate sustaining and community members.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>David’s right that
5.2(b) needs to be corrected to make it clear that all directors elect new
community directors – not just the community directors. (Just like
all directors decide whether to admit new sustaining members as well.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I agree with David on 5.15(b)
as well, as this is in contradiction our standing policy (affirmed by a
unanimous board vote) that all directors are eligible to vote on all issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

members, that it is the sustaining member being removed (the organization) and
not just the individual representative appointed by that organization.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

7.4(a), as it fails to include the International representative and the
Community representative. It is also misleading about how the committee

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'>Some questions (and moving this to
the public list since it doesn't need to be private):<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'> - The difference in
definition of Sustaining Member and Community Member seems to be in Exhibit A
(the dues schedule) though the qualification text seems identical in Section
3.1(b). This document structure seems awkward and confusing if you're not
already familiar with how the Foundation has operated.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'> - In 3.1(c), why are we
removing, "Each member shall have the right to vote on each matter
submitted to a vote of the members of the corporation"?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'> - In 4.9 why are we removing
the ability for action by written ballot on regular meetings and keeping it
only for annual and special meetings?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'> - 5.2(b) says that,
"The Community Members shall elect the number of directors
(“Community Directors”. Given 3.1(b), wouldn't that mean that Sustaining Members are not eligible to vote for Community Directors?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'> - 5.15(b) has a comment
asking if removal of a director by a 75% vote of the other directors should be limited to community directors. I do not believe that it should be limited.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'> - 5.15(c) used to
provide a means for the Membership to remove any director. This has been
changed to limit the Membership to only be able to remove community directors.
As with my previous comment, I think that any extremely unlikely removal
situation should be possible for all directors. Whether it is a person or
a company, if 75% of the board votes to remove them or the Membership does,
that ultimately places the Membership in control of the Foundation as I believe
it should be.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'> - I don't think that 7.4(a)
correctly represents the current makeup of the Executive Committee.<o:p></o:p></p>
