ITEMS OF INFORMATION
|
1. |
ISSUE: |
Recommendation to Amend
the Role of Management Council Representatives on Division III General
Committees. |
|
Committee’s Recommendation: |
||
|
|
Per the Management Council’s request,
the committee reviewed a recommendation to amend Bylaw 21.8.2.5 to require that
Management Council representatives serve as ex officio, nonvoting members and
be excluded from the total composition requirements for Division III general
committees. The committee opposed the
proposed legislation in its current form, noting that the legislation failed
to address the real concern of easing the placement of Management Council
representatives on Division III general committees. The committee recommends that the “ex officio, nonvoting”
language be removed from the proposed legislation. |
