Bylaws Change I have added to the agenda a bylaws change. The idea is that we should prohibit governors (board members) who are family members or affiliated (e.g. work for the same company).

I added "employee" so it reads, "There will be deemed to be “Multiple Representation” if two governors shall either be an employee, officer, director, governor, or manager of or shall have a controlling interest in a single organization or its Affiliates." 2. Our lawyer left the title of the first section as "Number; Qualifications". I dropped "Qualifications", since that is moving to the new section. 3. Our lawyer wrote, "Governors shall be natural persons, but governors need not be members." I kept the two sentences exactly as they are now: "Governors shall be natural persons. Governors need not be members." (Note that we prohibit natural persons as members, so naturally governors cannot be members directly.) 4. Our lawyer wrote, "if (a) such person Family Member of another governor". I added the missing "is a": "such person is a Family Member". SIX did the same thing. They said, "In light of a recent industry election in which a single employer was close to having two representatives on a Board with five seats, the SIX Board & Advisors have drafted a Bylaws revision to prevent such a risk at the SIX." Proxies The bylaws state that you send proxies to the Chief Manager (me, Richard Laager), and electronic means are acceptable. So a simple email is sufficient: rlaager(a)micemn.net<mailto:rlaager@micemn.net> or chiefmanager(a)micemn.net<mailto:chiefmanager@micemn.net>. If you send a vote by email (e.g. "We vote for <X>."), I will treat it as an a proxy appointment, appointing me to vote on your behalf, but restricted to only the election item and to only vote for the candidate you expressed. Likewise, if you submit something for the bylaws change (e.g. "We vote in favor of the bylaws change."). If you send a proxy with different instructions (e.g. "We appoint <Y> to vote for us."), obviously that will be honored as written.
