To those interested in Interex's recent Special Election: On July 1, 1999, the following message was posted to Interex's Special Election Web page and the 3000-L. > On Wed, 30 Jun 1999 14:07:25 (PDT) Stan Sieler correctly noted that the > wording of the ballot amendment does not support the Board's intent.. <snip> > Our attorney has confirmed, that to be absolutely clear, we do need to > add "or re-appointment" in the last sentence.. <snip> > The Board has decided that if the amendment passes it will be changed to > incorporate the two missing words so that the sentence clearly supports their > intent. <snip> On August 12, 1999, the Interex Board of Directors completed the voting to change the amendment passed in the Special Election. The last sentence of the referenced section in the amended Bylaw now reads: "No Director who has previously been elected or appointed to two full three year terms on the Board of Directors shall be eligible for reelection OR REAPPOINTMENT until three years have passed after completion of the second such term." The changed amendment places the same restrictions on length of service for both elected AND appointed board positions. This change is effective immediately. However, if a petition protesting the addition of these two words (and signed by 2% of the membership) is received at the principal office of Interex within 90 days (by November 12, 1999), this change by the Board of Directors shall have no effect until it is approved by a majority of members by a mail ballot.
