Business session #2:
Vote on Articles and Bylaws
-an amendment which allows the incoming vice moderator to *not* have to serve for six years was adopted
-an amendment that the youth delegate only serve one year (the same term as everyone else) was adopted
-an amendment (to sect. 4 para 1a) about the proposed mediation committee: members of that subcommittee will only make recommendations to their representative committees was adopted
** reminder ** we are still waiting for the IRS to officially recognize our non-profit status; what we're voting for recognizes that we're still stuck; as soon as the IRS gives us our approval, the proposed changes will be implemented the first quarter afterwards
passed unanimously!
- - editorial comment: it's pretty neat to see that a bunch of ministers and congregants trip a bit over formal language used in formal business meetings; we are God's people, trying our best to use unfamiliar language infrequently, just to make sure that our decisions can be clearly examined in the future
Nominating Committee
- because we're still "in process", we have to elect a slate of officers for the 'old structure' and also we have to elect a slate of officers for the 'new structure'
Nominations and Appointments Subcommittee - Rev. Bill Trump
- Bill Trump handled the 'old structure' slate, and the slate was passed
- Claudia Kneifel handled the 'new structure' slate, and the slate was passed
- our lawyers informed us that the nominating committee must have certain positions ratified by the body (again, a by-product of the transitional nature), and those nominations were passed
Nomination and Election for Nominating Committee
- three names were nominated from the floor, and all accepted and were voted in
