Re: Motion to remove the operations manual from the Wiki

[gary white <in2iris@yahoo.com>]

Please check Roberts Rules, pages 114-115 in Roberts Rules, newly revised 11th
edition.    Its true that BEFORE the motion has been announced, the original
motion holders can alter or amend the motion, but AFTER the motion has been
announced, the motion then belongs to the assembly and does not need the
approval of the original motion holders to be amended, but any member can
propose changes in a motion to amend.

Thanks,
Gary

The people who originally moved and seconded the motion need to agree to amend
their motion.  That is Susan Boyce and John Ludi.  If they agree I will send
the amended motion out.

I think the discussion the last day or so has been very productive.  I do not
agree that the operations manual is of "critical importance" - this
organizations has operated for many years without it.  I do think it would be
nice to have a document that tells you what is expected of your job, having
been appointed to advertising editor and having nothing to help me determine
what the job really was/is or how to accomplish the job.  I have written a
proposed job description for advertising editor to go in the operations
manual.

The general consensus of opinions expressed seems to be that the document
should be on the AIS web site and made easy to find, but that keeping it on
the Wiki Iris is also a good idea.  This poses the problem of updating both
versions but that should not be a problem.

I therefore:

Move to amend the motion to read:

"That the Operations Manual be maintained on the Iris Wiki and that a copy of
the Operations Manual be placed on the AIS web site and that the web site be
indexed to allow easy access to the document."

Would someone second this amendment?

Susan Boyce moved and John Ludi seconded the below motion.  As such, it is
officially out for discussion.

"That the Operations Manual be removed from the Iris Wiki and be
posted on the AIS Website."
