Hear ye, hear ye, members, contributing members and premium members of ReefSanctuary.com.

It has hereby been called to bring petition to RS to make change to the bylaws of the forum country called RS.

In question is the following addendum to RS bylaws:

Addendum 2.1.5.99.a Administrators participating in the end results of a group LFS trip under addendum 2.1.5 as above stated (garnering 25% of said take) must pay for 75% or more of the total costs including, but not limited to, gas, food, preparation (shampoo, soap, hotel costs, etc.) Should said administrator fail to provide money up-front for said costs, that administrator shall be responsible for all costs pertaining to, but not limited to, any and all LFS runs participated in by three or more RS members. Premium members shall be entitled to free access to said admnistrator's credit card insomuch as said credit card has accessible funds. Should said administrator still refuse to the aforementioned conditions, he/she shall be forced to host a national RS meeting in his/her residence at a time convenient to a plurality of RS members.

The change brought before you for your vote entails the following clause: Premium members shall be entitled to free access to said admnistrator's credit card insomuch as said credit card has accessible funds.

Motion has been made to change this statement to the following: [b]Premium members shall be entitled to free access to said admnistrator's credit card whether or not such card has acceessible funds. Said Premium members shall be entitled to exceed said credit card's limit under these circumstances.[/B]

Further information pertaining to this petition may be obtained at the following: Kiss My Sweet Lips

Nay!

I don't think it should be limited to only "Premium" members. Either that or we need to re-think what a Premium member is.

michael_cb_125 · 11-13-2007, 04:04 PM

I think we should all take a week off. We can travel the country visiting Fish Stores. We can have them hold what we want, then ship it to us once we are home. It will be great.

blue_eyes53813 · 11-13-2007, 04:10 PM

lcstorc · 11-13-2007, 04:37 PM

Nothing new there.

Dentoid · 11-13-2007, 05:17 PM

Do we have by-laws?

lcstorc · 11-13-2007, 05:52 PM

We seem to have created them today.

Read the sweetlips thread for the first several.
This one seems to be controversial though. The admins don't want it to pass cause they have to pay.

Kathy? What kind of cold meds are you on? lol
For each strange PM I get, I'm sending 2 to you.

This isn't in my job description.

DaveK · 11-13-2007, 06:57 PM

I voted no. It may work out very nicely for the non-administrators, but what happens if everyone appoints YOU an administrator for any LFS runs?

Also, what's to stop an administrator, knowing that they will be taken advantage of, from feeding you meals obtained at (insert famous fast food "resturant"), and making you very sick?

Too many unanswered questions!
