<div class="">Hi,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I know this in not exactly standard practice, but I would like to offer what I believe to be a friendly amendment (can’t think of a better term right now) to the language we are asking our SGs/Cs to consider.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Specifically, the last sentence in section 2.2.1 #3 reads:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<blockquote type="cite" class="" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS;">
<div class="">
<div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(197, 31, 60);">
Should the House with the vacant Vice-Chair position fail to designate an interim Vice-Chair, the Designated Interim Vice-Chair from the other House will serve as an Interim Vice-Chair alone until a new Chair is conclusively elected.</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS;">This sentence seems applicable to me in 2.2.1 #2, but not #3. If we’re dealing with scenario 3, then there are already no vice chairs available to serve on an interim basis from either House. I believe this sentence
may better serve the purpose we intended if it were something more like this:</div>
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS;">“Should one of the Houses fail to designate an interim Vice-Chair, the designated interim Vice-Chair from the other House will serve as an interim Vice-Chair alone until a new Chair is conclusively elected.”</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS;">I hope this makes sense to folks. If there is agreement on this, perhaps we can ask for an amended document to circulate to our groups?</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS;">Thanks, and apologies for not catching this sooner.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS;"><br class="">
