Hi folks,
As the last non-spam message to this list was on June 23rd, 2007, I'd like
to know who is still on here and what the appetite is to take another crack
at updating the by-laws, which have been out of date since before this
committee was struck nearly 10 years ago in 2002?
Building on my experience with SPI as a Member of both an associated
project and the Board, I am working on a new draft of the By-Laws for
discussion, amendment, and ultimately, with a little luck, a referendum and
implementation. It is badly overdue.
So, who's with me?
David

I'm here, and I'd be happy to re-engage on this.

Glad to hear it. Any idea if we still have a valid charter for by-laws and
who, officially, is a member? Might be worthwhile reformalising it at the
Feb 9 board meeting.
Or we can operate it informally (which I'd actually prefer) and see if we
can reach a consensus to put to referendum in time for this year's AGM.

I'm subscribed to the list and would be happy to help in whatever
capacity I can.

I'd have to shovel email to recall.

I like this better. Do the actual work, and show up with a proposal.
