Hi all,
I've got a couple questions about the bylaws. The first is concerning Article IV-Section C-paragraph 1b.

[i:2l1miijw]b. In the case of a permanent absence of a President, the Vice President shall have the option of assuming the office of the President. [b:2l1miijw]If the option is not taken, nominations by the last nominating committee and an election shall be scheduled at the earliest possible time.[/i:2l1miijw][/b:2l1miijw]

Does this mean if Tom, Joe and Bill were nominated. Tom wins the election, then cannot serve and the VP doesn't assume the office, we now vote for either Joe or Bill?

Or does this mean the last nominating committee accepts new nominations?

My next question concerns Article VI- Section D

[i:2l1miijw]D. [b:2l1miijw]Vacancies: Any vacancy on the board of Directors shall be filled pursuant to Article IV, section A of these bylaws by the appointment or election of said Director or Officer. [/b:2l1miijw]In the event that a vacancy arises on the board of Directors of the Past President due to resignation, death or otherwise, then the position shall remain vacant until filled by the next Past President. [/i:2l1miijw]

Should this read "filled pursuant to Article IV, section C  ?

Thanks,
Myron KY
