Dear Tim:<br><br>
Would that it were that easy. Let's look at the wording more
carefully, remember, we have only now received the required five
endorsements. The clock starts ticking now:<br><br>

for inspection and possible amendment for 48 hours prior to the

</font>end quote:<br><br>
Until now, all amendments appear to have been accepted as
"friendly" and incorporated in the motion. However, that
leaves us with two issues:<br><br>
1. We need at least four days (see #7, above) from the time that the
Secretary receives the final draft.<br><br>
2. If we receive a motion which the proponent determines it unfriendly,
and if said amendment receives an endorsement, under Robert's Rules of
Order we must vote on the amendment before we can vote on the main
motion.<br><br>
I don't believe we can ignore the four day limit shown in #7.<br><br>
Respectfully submitted,<br>
Bob Connelly<br>
Secretary<br><br>
<br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">The reason I believe we only
need a 24 hour review of the ballot is that<br>
the ballot is simply a yay or nay to the motion that has already been
on<br>
the list for 14 days </blockquote></body>
