Given that Grex's bylaws currently allow only individuals to be members, it is proposed that the following amendments be made to allow institutions that donate money to Grex to hold non-voting Grex memberships. [Changed portions are enclosed in square brackets.] ARTICLE 2: MEMBERSHIP a. Any [individual or institution] supporting the goals and objectives of this organization as enumerated in the Preamble, and who agrees to abide by these bylaws and pay dues, is eligible for membership. b. To be eligible to vote, [an individual] must be a current member and have paid a minimum of three months dues. [c. Institutional members are never eligible to vote.] ARTICLE 3: BOARD OF DIRECTORS a. The Board of Directors (BOD) shall consist of seven [individual] members of Grex, and shall include a chairperson, a secretary, and a treasurer. d. Nominations for the BOD will be submitted by November 15th. Any person may submit nominations. All nominees must be [individual] Grex members as of the start of the voting period. Board elections will be held between the 1st and 15th of December. The required number of candidates receiving the largest number of votes are seated on the board commencing January 1st. ************** VOTE RESULTS: This vote was proposed in Co-op 9, item #100, response #35.
