RE: [registrars] submission to House Committee - DRAFT

["Elana Broitman" <ebroitman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim - this was the entire draft, minus some final grammatical edits.  There is nothing in the bylaws that requires a vote on such a letter. Nor is there time to - there is less than a week between the hearing and the deadline that the Committee set for submission.

Elana, if you are sending something on behalf of the RC, then I would think 
the RC would need to formally vote to do it.  The entire draft should be 
put to a formal vote, with time for the draft to be reviewed and debated by 
all members.
