Executive Committee: 


Proposed Bylaws Change: 
In 2009 we recommended the following ByLaw changes
Section 3.1
  1. Increase number of excomm members from 7 to 9
  2. Increase terms from 2 years to 3 years.
Section 3.13
   Subject to removal if you miss 3 meetings and/or email votes
   
However, the only change voted on by the membership was the change to the number of excomm members.
My 2014 update reflects this.

Webmaster requirements:
As of Jan. 2014 I have been doing it by hand coding html.
You can also get George Newsome  to make changes for you.

 Adrian's latest email is that the .asp site will be supported to the end
of 2014. He keeps talking about simplified migration to drupal and I
keep waiting to see what that means.

I don't think it is essential to know Drupal because the whole point of
a Content Management System (CMS) is to make it much easier to handle content without needing to do
any html coding.

I would hold the request for a new person for a while while National get
their drupal act further together. With any luck, I can worry about the
move to the drupal platform and your next web master should only need to
handle content.

Of course, if you can find someone who already knows about Drupal, I
would love them to handle the whole Chapter move to drupal. H'm... maybe
I should be asking for that myself!
