That the Bylaws be re-written to give effect to the following provisions.

plus GM. That this reduction be accomplished by attrition with no

ended in favor of a simple and transparent winner take all system, and,
functions and authority of an Assembly of Delegates, and,
5. That the PNB management be asked to prepare a financial impact
statement of these proposed changes within 30 days.
II Bylaws amendment to regularize procedures for special meetings (G.
Reiter)
Special meetings shall require seven (7) days advance notice. Any
director may place an agenda item on the agenda if submitted to the PNB
secretary 7 days in advance. Motions from committee will not be subject
to this requirement. Any director may submit an agenda item after this
time and prior to approval of the agenda, with the consent of a majority
of the directors present and voting. Notice of all special meetings
shall be forwarded by e-mail to all directors and placed on the
Foundation’s website and on websites of all stations at the time they
are scheduled.
This will replace article 6 section 4
Notice of every regular meeting of the Board of Directors, stating the
time and place of said meeting, and the purposes thereof, shall be sent
to each Director by first class mail, facsimile or email, according to
the preference each Director specifies in writing to the Foundation’s
Secretary, at least thirty (30) days before any such meeting. Special
meetings shall require only seven (7) days advance notice, but shall
also require telephonic notice by leaving a message at the telephone
number given to the Foundation’s Secretary for such notice by each
Director, and shall specify the purpose of the meeting. No additional
business not stated in the notice shall be conducted at a special
meeting. Notice of all meetings shall be placed on the Foundation’s
website and announced a minimum of 3 times daily on air for five
consecutive days on all Foundation radio stations, beginning, whenever
reasonably possible, no later than ten days before the date of said
meeting. Notice of a meeting hereunder will be deemed waived by a
Director who affirmatively agrees to attend a meeting or to waive this
advance notice requirement, signs a waiver of notice or a written
consent to hold the meeting, or who attends the meeting without
protesting prior to the meeting or upon commencement of the meeting to
the lack of notice to that Director.
