Hello All,
 
I’ve reread several times the report from the EC concerning what to do with the position of Vice Director.  A very interesting analysis and a very interesting conclusion indeed.  I’m in the process of preparing a commentary on it; at the moment I’m waiting for a copy of the materials from the CT attorneys, Day, Pitney.   Jay, Chris, or Tom G. – can you forward these to me as soon as you can?
 
While I wait for these materials, I do have an initial question for the EC.  The following strike me as the major points of the proposal; consideration of each of these items in detail will be the purpose and form of the exposition that I hope to prepare over the weekend:
 
1.     Removing the entitlement for Vice Directors to automatically succeed Directors
2.     Removing the entitlement for Vice Directors to vote in place of Directors who are temporarily absent
3.     Move Vice Director focus from League level to Divisional
4.     No attendance at board meetings
5.     Vice Directors to be appointed, not elected
6.     Vice Directors would be under direction of the Directors
7.     Vice Directors have ”preference” in selection to replace a Director
 
Now, suppose instead, that the Vice Director position were eliminated entirely, and each Director were to appoint one additional Assistant Director.
 
The question:
 
What significant, substantive difference is there between these two options?
 
If you feel the need, comment on the insignificant and trivial differences as well – I suggest that last item in the list above falls into this category.
 
Jay, Chris, and Tom G. (and the rest of the EC, if you choose), could you please post your answers?
 
Thanks,
Mike
