New Member Benefit: ByLaws Updated for Organizational Member Board of Trustee Election
by Joni Brennan 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Dear Kantara Initiative Community, This note is to announce that on January 27th, 2011, the Board of Trustees voted by super majority to amend the Kantara Initiative ByLaws to add a new Member benefit for Kantara Initiative Organizational Members. The added ByLaw section 4.1.3 below [1] captures the new benefit in specific detail. In summary, Organizational Members will now have the benefit to be elected by your peers to a seat(s) on the Board of Trustees for a term that ends on December 31st of each calendar year. Shortly following, Organizational Members will be informed of how to take advantage of this new benefit. We hope that this new benefit will provide additional value to your Kantara Initiative Organizational Membership. Should you have any questions regarding the new benefit, or would like to express interest in participation right away, please feel free to contact me directly. [1] 4.1.3 - At Large Trustees - Two (2) members of the Trustees may be elected from the existing organizational members that are L0, L1, L2, or L3 members and are not already trustees. The term of these Trustees will be for one (1) calendar year and will expire at the end of each year on December 31st. The procedure for the election of these trustees will be determined and overseen by the Trustees, except that that all current members that are L0, L1, L2, AND L3 levels will have only one (1) vote per organization and that the top two (2) vote getters will be elected. There is no limit as to the number of terms that these organizations may serve as Trustees. If either or both elected Trustee organizations should resign or vacate their position before the end of their term, the Trustees may initiate an election to fill the remaining time of the term(s).
