• i. At the 01.10.2010 Members Council meeting, the membership determined that participation in a Base Service as a pre-condition for voting on operational matters no longer reflected their wishes.
• Update for information: this determination has been honoured since late 2010 and Cooperative staff, working with the incoming Governance sub committee, will revise the SMA accordingly this year, for approval by the membership.
• ii. Further to item (i), the Board, in consultation with and on advice from the Governance Sub-Committee, has determined that the Approval Change Processes laid out in Appendix D of the SMA are unnecessarily and unintentionally onerous, particularly given the size and geographic composition of the membership. The Cooperative currently counts 94 organizations as members, of which nearly 70 would need to approve any change to the SMA.
• Motion: Henceforth, substantive changes to the body of the SMA and its appendices shall require a successful motion of the Board of Directors, plus, in accordance with Section 6.11 of the Cooperative’s Rules of Incorporation, a simple majority vote of a quorum of the members.
• 9. New Business
• 10. Adjournment (1200 PST)
• 11. Lunch
• 12. Reconvene at 1300 PST at Vancouver Public Library if registered for the ebook Summit (register by June 01)
