[Nfbf-l] Important: Submitted for yourApproval --ProposedConstitutional Amendment.

[Tinetta Cooper]

This does sound a bit immature, but if we don't want to offend the sensitive 
nature of even one person, we should ensure that steps are taken.  I 
remember this precaution being instituted when I was in high school, so I 
understand where you're coming from Dan.

>>I think we should drop the secret ballot thing. Maybe we could request
>>that  should a standing vote be required, all voters except the vote
>>counters  close their eyes so they can't report later who voted for
>>whom. But  really,  my feeling about this is if we are going to vote,
>>we should be okay enough  with our choices to not mind if others know
>>who we voted for. I think the  secret ballot should be stricken from
>>the amendment.

>> And in the amendment, the word "member" needs to be changed to "members"

>> the request of a majority of the active member (change to members)
>> present and voting."
>> Also
>> doesn't secret marked ballot signify the ballot will be handed out
>> already marked? It is my suggestion to strike the word "marked" from the

>> Therefore, the sentence should read:
>> "Secret  ballots shall be required upon the request of a majority of
