Here is the wording of the proposed bylaw changes as posted on the AMA website, including the EC vote for or against the motion.

The way I read it, anyone currently in their third term is grandfathered in for one more election cycle before being forced to sit out. For anyone else, the count is started. The motion passed by an 8-1 vote, with 4 DVP's not present.

As discussed earlier, an EC member can run again for a 4th (or more) consecutive term if no "qualified" candidate is nominated prior to 30 days before nominations cut off date. Any nomination received within that last 30 day period would NOT result in the incumbant's name being taken back off the ballot.

=====================
Motion VII: Moved by A. Argenio (I) and seconded by G. Fitch (II) to add to Bylaws Article X a new Section 3 as follows:
Any elected officer of the association is limited to serving in the same position to three consecutive full terms. After this third term the officer may not run again for the same elected position without standing down for at least one election cycle. After one cycle an individual may run again for a previously held position and be eligible to serve for another three consecutive full terms.
In any election, if there is no qualified candidate* of record (as determined by the chair of the Nominating Committee) 30 days before the nomination process ends**, an incumbent officer who has served the maximum number of complete terms may then be considered for an additional term by being nominated, per normal procedures, for the position currently held. If elected, this officer must stand down after this one term unless there is no qualified nominee, as determined above, in a subsequent cycle.
This term limitation is effective taking into consideration current elected officers’ service. Any current elected officer has the option of serving an additional consecutive full term after adoption of these term limitations, if they have already served three consecutive full terms as of the date of the adoption of these term limitations.

*A qualified candidate is defined as someone who meets all the qualifications necessary to hold the office he or she is seeking including, but not limited to, Leader Member status.

**The end of the nomination process is defined as the last day when nominations will be accepted at AMA Headquarters for the current year elections.

Renumber all sections following the new Section 3.

Motion passed: 8-Yes; 1-No (III) (VPs for District IV, VI, VII and XI were not present.)
