Am I wrong in thinking that the board members are appointed by the elected administration?, please fill me in if I am. And if I'm right, what is "fair" to the general membership about that? 
Andy, We've never met, and I respect everyones opinion whether I agree or not, but I still am wondering why no one from the board, or you as chair of the bylaw committee haven't posted a preview of the "proposed changes".  I read your past post and it was a little vague to me, and didn't seem to cover the changes at large. I s there something in them that may upset a specific group in the club? I'm sure everyone in the club would like to see what good work the bylaw committee has been doing these past months.
Also, as I posted earlier, a club is a republic, governed by the masses, not a democratic society designed to protect individuals. I do not belong to a chapter at this time but would be delighted to see the clubs chapters more involved, so your "infringing on someones rights" is all wet! The object of our involvement is not to bring HPOCA to it's knees, but to change things so that NOBODYS' CLIQUE CAN REIGN SOVERN POWER ON THIS CLUB AGAIN!! 
How about it; can we have a preview of whats coming? Your the man!!!
