Here is the revised version of the motion. It should be passed jointly
with another resolution which establishes the PO Box, which I will
send in a separate email.

====================

A motion to establish a membership structure, to adopt a form for
membership certificates, and to adopt rules for ballot access

Moved by:

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

A. Membership Terms and Dues Schedule for Fiscal Year 2011/2012:
       1. The first term of membership in the organization shall last

between the date this motion is adopted and August 31, 2012.

       2. Those who register between the date this motion is adopted and
February 29, 2012 shall pay $10 in membership dues.
       3. Those who register between March 1, 2012 and August 31, 2012 shall
pay $5 in membership dues.

B. Membership Terms and Dues Schedule for Subsequent Fiscal Years:
       1. The second term of membership and all subsequent terms of

membership shall last from September 1 to August 31.
       2. Full-Time Membership: Those who register between September 1 and

February 28, or February 29 during leap years, shall pay $10 in
membership dues, with membership for that fiscal year effective
immediately.
       3. Part-Time Membership: Those who register between March 1 and
August 31 shall pay $5 in membership dues, with membership for the
remainder of that fiscal year effective immediately.

C. Registration Process
       1. Registration may take place at regular meetings of the Board,
except when either the Secretary or Treasurer is not present, through

an online registration system to be created by a person or committee

designated by the Board of Directors for that purpose, or through mail
sent to the organization's PO Box.

       2. Registrants are required to submit their full name, mailing
address, and email address to the Secretary.

       3. Registrants are not obligated to complete the submission of
personal information and the transmission of payment at the same time,
or in a particular sequence, but they are not to be enrolled as
members in good standing until both steps are completed.
       4. Upon the receipt of dues by the Treasurer and the receipt of the
required personal information by the Secretary, the Secretary shall
sign and issue a membership certificate in the form recommended by
this motion.
       5. In the event of applications sent by mail, the Secretary shall
mail certificates to the mailing address specified by the registrant.

Membership certificates may not be emailed.

D. Form of Membership Certificate
       1. The membership certificate for the 2011/2012 fiscal year shall be

printed on 8.5 inch by 11 inch white paper in the form specified by
the enclosed image.

E. Election of Directors
       1. A director must maintain membership in the organization for the
time of their term. Those whose memberships have lapsed during their
term will be required to re-register promptly or resign.

       2. Prior to the general membership meeting, the Board of Directors
shall appoint an Election Committee with three members, including the
Secretary and two other members who are not Directors and who agree to
waive their eligibility to serve as Directors for the duration of
their term on the committee. The term of the two appointed members
shall be one year.

       3. A candidate must declare their candidacy to the Election Committee
in the form recommended by the Election Committee in order to be
printed on the ballot. The Committee is responsible for ensuring the
eligibility of candidates.

       4. The deadline for filing for ballot access is 48 hours before the
start of the annual membership meeting.
