[LIBRARYDIR] RE: proposed LMDC bylaws amendment

[Paula Doherty]

Hi again...  What about setting up a SurveyMonkey poll that includes all the logical options for our name so folks can vote before the meeting.  This may reduce the length of time necessary for the discussion :)

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] proposed LMDC bylaws amendment

I would like to propose 2 amendments to the LMDC bylaws.  http://lmdc.wikispaces.com/file/view/Bylaws.rtf/117728081/Bylaws.rtf

The first is an adjustment to Article 2, Section 2B.  The bylaws state that the Chair shall be representative to the IC, but for multiple years the Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect has represented LMDC at IC.  I'd like to add that responsibility to the chair-elect section and remove it from the chair section.

The second change I'd like to make is to formally standardize our name.  It's listed different ways in different places, including multiple ways in the bylaws themselves.  LMDC is variously listed as:

*         Library/Media Directors Council

*         Library Media Directors Council

*         Library and Media Directors Council

*         -all of the above but with an apostrophe

o   Library/Media Directors' Council

o   Library Media Directors' Council

o   Library and Media Directors' Council

I have this on the agenda as a (short?) item.  The bylaws are amended with at least a 2/3 vote "of the official members in attendance."  Changes have to be submitted in writing 2 weeks in advance of the vote.  The bylaws do allow for electronic vote.

During the meeting, I'd like to come to consensus on these 2 issues and cover anything else that needs to be addressed.   We'll decide if we want to do an electronic vote after the changes are distributed or hold the vote at our Winter meeting.
Thanks,
Jennifer
