[Ofsrdc] Copy of the Proposal

[Tim Roberts]

Someone at the meeting yesterday asked for an e-mail copy of the
recommendation from the Presidential Succession Committee so they could
print it themselves.  Here it is.

Recommendation from Presidential Succession Committee
September 9, 2007


We propose that Section 2 of the By-Laws (1st Vice President) be amended
to add:

In the event that the office of President becomes vacant prior to its
regular term ending, the 1st Vice President, after approval by a
majority of the executive board, shall appoint a person to fill the
vacancy for the balance of the term.  The appointed person should be a
Past Federation President.

We also propose that, in the Practices & Procedures, on page V-6 in the
duties of the 1st VP, a new section 6 be added:

6. If the office of President becomes vacant before the end of the term,
the by-laws require that 1st Vice President appoint a replacement to
fill the term.  The replacement should be a Past Federation President,
to ensure that there is an experienced hand at the helm.  The most
recent Past Federation Presidents should be contacted first, since they
will still have the job fresh in their memories.

If no Past Federation President is able or willing to fill the term,
then the 1st VP needs to use good judgment in appointing a qualified
replacement.  The replacement must be approved by a majority vote of the
executive board.  It should be made clear to the appointee that the
replacement term extends not only through the rest of the current year,
but to sitting as Immediate Past President for the following year as well.
