Davis Tournament

[Thom Cate]

Dear all,

Looking forward to tomorrow's tournament--and I know you are too.

Please remember there is a League Meeting to discuss those issues we need to discuss, Sunday morning, 8 AM at the Posh Bagel in beautiful downtown Davis.

I'd like to remind the Governing Member clubs that attendance at meetings is not only mandatory, it's just a good idea.  Only two GM clubs showed at the Fall meeting, Santa Cruz and UCD.  And Santa Cruz was the host.

Ideally, GM clubs send two representatives, who each have a vote (and may split their vote yay/nay if they feel like it).  Non GM clubs may send reps and participate in discussion, but they do not get to vote. In the event a GM club sends only one rep, that rep has only a single vote. Reps need not be permanent officers; they may be any member of the GM club, which has been authorized by that club to be a rep, and to speak and vote on issues affecting that club within the NCIFL.

So, while casual, it's kind of a big deal.

In the event that not all GM clubs send at least one rep to the meeting for the second time in a row, the president may suggest those present stage a coup and declare themselves a quorum, with full legislative authority. Consider the implications.

Just sayin', right?

See you tomorrow morning--and again on Sunday!

Best,

Thom
