"Clarify that the majority of the votes cast will prevail."
I don't want to stir the pot too much. I am not stating or inferring that it would occur any time with present nor future boards. And I admit I have not fully read the by laws. But I would not want it possible for the majority of the votes cast to be some small number such as twenty.

To all POCA members:
To expand a little upon what Ed has said, and to attempt to answer some
of the questions and comments put forth regarding the upcoming ballot
to amend POCA's by-laws, I give you the following:
The ballot itself will have both the current language (old) as well
as the proposed language (new), so the voter can compare the two.
The ballot is to be sent with the March 2015 Newsletter.
I am sure President John Buckman, as well as others will point out
just how important it is for all members and associate members to fill
out and mail in their ballots. We need about 400 affirmative ballots
to make it fly.
Once passed by a majority of the membership, the rewrite of Article X
attempts to:
Clarify that the majority of the votes cast will prevail.
Will allow for By-Law changes and amendments to be initiated by the
membership at large not just the Board.
Will allow for the electronic transmission and receipt of voting
materials.
Please vote!
Thank you
Bob Reid

Hi All,
The POCA board has gone to great lengths to change this one section
of the bylaws; it's called article 10. The change will make it
easier for ALL POCA members to vote in the future and Allow
electronic voting! Yeah!
The way the by-laws read now, you have to have a majority of votes
by POCA members in good standing, that means to change anything now
we need 500+ votes, but with this new article 10 not only will it
allow electronic voting, but future votes will be by POCA members as
a majority of votes cast.
Yes a lot of legal mumbo jumbo but we are a California based non
profit corp. So this change needs to be implemented and put forth to
the membership to pass. That's you guys.
The important part, we need everyone to vote to get the now required
500+ votes for this to pass. The exact wording and voting ballot
will be in the March Newsletter and we need to get the vote out!!!
What will happen if this does not pass?
Things are not going to be able to be changed very easily; as in
updating the
By-laws from its dinosaurus state, or at all to make things better
for YOU, the members.
So I urge everyone to please vote.
Any questions please ask.
I hope I have explained this well enough, the biggest thing is that
this is for all of you and a first step in making this a better
club.
Kind regards,
Ed
