- Paragraphs 389 and 390 seem to be at odds with each other. 389 says that if there is a second community veto, the previous year's budget will be used. 390 talks about the community's judgement of the Board's response to a 2nd veto, but under the proposed 389, there is no opportunity for a Board obeying the Bylaws to do anything other than comply. What form of response is 390 envisioning which would be non-compliant?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>390 refers to the Board's overall response to the concerns being raised. It identifies that the community has a choice - to use this Budget power, either once or twice, and/or to go on and use one of the other powers.</div><div><br></div><div>I think it's reasonable to assume that the Board would respond (i.e. make a comment) to a second veto, as well as following the bylaws in staying within the previous year's budget for the rest of the financial year.</div><div><br></div><div>The tone and content of that comment will probably help determine whether the community wants to take any further action.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't see a conflict, but I see unclear drafting....</div><div><br></div><div>does this make sense?</div><div><br></div><div>cheers</div><div>Jordan</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
