First, I found out something recently that I did not know. If any member requests a copy of the minutes, and addendums to the minutes, they are sent as no charge. If you want minutes, other than the current ones, you have to pay $5 for handling. I have suggested that they put the addendums up on the web site along with the minutes. I was told that the only reason it had not been done so far is that often they are often not available in electronic form. They are looking into putting them as scans into .pdf format. Sometimes, it is just a matter of asking or pointing out an oversight. That is a major problem with the web site. VERY FEW even bother to look at it.

I have watched the Minutes for quite some time. This is my opinion, but I am sure that Joyce will confirm or deny what I state. Send her a note. I believe that the section underneath the fact that the vote was taken, is what they issue voted on was. You will notice the bullets on the Minutes that set the items apart.

I think all they did was to formally require that supporting documents accompany requests for a vote.

Here is the section as it appears in the minutes:

The following E-mail vote results were read into the minutes:

E-mail vote of June 16, 2003 re the proposal EC-05-02.
7 no; 2 yes; two districts did not vote and there was one abstention.

Sufficient information pertaining to issues to be voted on will accompany all requests for a vote. Criteria had never been established for an EC non-vote on contest board matters. Currently, non-votes by EC members (pertaining to CB matters) are treated different than non-votes by CB members. It was agreed that in those cases, EC vote will be subject to the contest board criteria.
