Revision to Bylaws – Decisions for Council (1/4) Article 4 Issue • The term “officer” is not applied consistently in the NOS Bylaws and the AIAA Officers Manual. • In the AIAA Officers Manual, several NOS “Titled Council Positions” are described as officers. Recommendation • Recommend that we follow existing bylaws which identify the Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer, and Past Chair as Section Officers.
Revision to Bylaws – Decisions for Council (2/4) Article 6 Current Bylaws • State that council members shall be elected annually. Issue • Is this necessary, or is it sufficient to elect officers and allow the Section Chair and/or Officers to appoint council members as required? Recommendation • Recommend that officers be elected annually • Recommend that other voting council members be elected by the officers. • Council meetings be open to all section members.
Revision to Bylaws – Decisions for Council (3/4) Article 5 Current Bylaws “The council shall consist of not less than four (including the officers) nor more than twelve elected members.” Issues • Not all Council members may be elected. • How many members should council consist of? Recommendation • Change “elected members” to “voting members” • Pencil: The advantage of limiting Council to 12 is that only 6 are necessary for a quorum (Art. 7, Sec. 7).
Revision to Bylaws – Decisions for Council (4/4) Article 7 Current Bylaws • Sec. 1 imposes a minimum on the number of meetings NOS is required to hold each year –currently three (3). Issue • AIAA Bylaws template specifies four (4) meetings. • Which do we prefer? Comment • Three dinner meetings and the awards picnic meet this critera. Opening council meetings to the section members also meet the higher requirement Recommendation • Change minimum number of meeting to four (4) to match AIAA Bylaws.
