[Dave Blaser]

Good morning folks,

For your consideration, we have a thought in regards to RC elections.

Dave,

One thing I'd like to see considered is a more inclusive process of electing
the RC.  Right now, and as proposed in the Bylaws committee, only chapter
COs can vote, which disenfranchises every other member of the region.  Sure,
the CO is theoretically supposed to vote the will of the chapter, but that
doesn't necessarily happen.  Also, the members who do not belong to a
chapter have no say at all, even though the RC is their *direct*
representative.

I realize this would increase the costs to STARFLEET, but, in my opinion,
the extra cost is worth it.

(This becomes even more important if the committee ends up recommending
regions based on population rather than geography.)

Ron
