Board Report

 

The Board took the following action this week:

  • 2012 Budget: Announced final approval of the 2012 budget.
  • Code Review: Received update on the EICC Code Review process.  The voting process was extended five days to ensure participation by all Full Members.
  • Membership Meeting: Reviewed a draft agenda for the Winter Membership Meeting.

Code Review Process: Vote by January 9

 

The deadline to vote on proposed changes to the EICC Code of Conduct has been extended to 5 PM (PST) on Jan. 9, 2012.  The vote is extended only for Full Member companies that have not already voted. Contact Erin Hussey for a link to the ballot.
 
Full Members may initiate re-votes on specific proposals according to the following process:
 
1. 20% Requirement: Objections must be submitted in writing to Erin at ehussey@eicc.info, and must be supported by a minimum of 8 (20%) Full Members.
 
2. Limited Scope: Objections can only be accepted for specific proposals. Qualified objections will result in a new "yes/no" ballot to reconsider the specific proposal (i.e., no new proposals or modifications can be accepted.)
 
3. Adoption of Objections: A 2/3 majority is required to overturn a prior vote.
 
Updated Code Review Timeline:
 

  • Jan. 9: Vote deadline (5 PM PST).
  • Jan. 11: Results communicated to members.
  • Jan. 27: Deadline to submit objections.
