Please vote "NO" The current bylaw review was motivated by a recent attempt by the ED to unlawfully replace the Summer Board of Directors with a body of six individuals not elected by the membership. I am one of the three members that opposed this illegal action and helped reverse it. The legal review of our bylaws that followed uncovered several other long-standing noncompliant sections that need to be fixed. This proposal appears to fix the compliance issues, but also eliminates every significant guarantee of member control and democratic process in the BSC. The drafters promise the mechanisims of member control will be restored in the future, but if this referendum passes the membership will be powerless to ensure that ever happens. The law has no concern for member control or democratic process in an organization like ours, be we should. A set of bylaws that is legally compliant and preserves our organization as a member-run and member-controlled one is possible, and we deserve the chance to at least see a ballot that presents this option.
