Hello Jim,
Technically I am taking over as SC so that part of Sec 10 is complete.
We do not have a regularly scheduled election nor do we have
guidelines or bylaws that tell us how to handle this situation.
Logically the ASC finishing the term of the SC in these cases would
make sense however since we have nothing in print to indicate this way
of handling the situation, the USGW rules go in to affect. As Nancy
and I have read this section and interpret it as having an immediate
election then this is what we must do however willing I am to finish
Kevin's term of office.
Once everything is situated I think we should put our heads together
and create some simple guidelines for the state. Both Nathan and
Kevin have generated a set of rules that we can expound on so we don't
have to start from scratch. Elections and terms of office should be
included in this guideline. One thing I should point out is that I
was not originally elected to the position of ASC, I was appointed.
In that regard I should be required to stand for election as SC.
Jim, I will send your note to the RAL Scott Burow and I would be happy
to forward his opinion on your interpretation of the USGW rules. I
would sub him to the mailing list but I am afraid I do not have those
keys in order to sub him in. I will forward what he gives us. Scott
is quite knowledgeable in this area and I would not hesitate to heed
his advice.
Thanks for the dialogue,
Karen in Iowa
