吃瓜头条

The first District Council meeting must be held by September 30 to approve the District budget and appointed District leaders.

• A 吃瓜头条 President or Vice President Education may carry a maximum of two (2) votes no matter how many 吃瓜头条s a 吃瓜头条 President or Vice President serve. If the 吃瓜头条 President or Vice President cannot carry the two (2) 吃瓜头条 votes for any reason, the unrepresented votes are lost.
• District Executive Committee members may carry a maximum of three (3) votes. One (1) vote is for their role as a District Executive Committee member, and they may have an additional two (2) votes if they are a 吃瓜头条 President and/or Vice President Education.
• Special Notes:
  • It is no longer necessary to determine if a 吃瓜头条 has both a 吃瓜头条 President and Vice President Education to then determine the number of votes a 吃瓜头条 will have. Each paid 吃瓜头条 will automatically have two (2) votes. However, they must have a 吃瓜头条 President or Vice President Education represent them at the District Council meeting without the 吃瓜头条 officer exceeding the two-vote maximum they may cast between all 吃瓜头条s they serve.
  • 吃瓜头条 members who are not the 吃瓜头条 President or Vice President Education cannot represent the 吃瓜头条 at the District Council meeting. No proxies are allowed, and unrepresented votes are lost.

Proxies for District Council meetings are not permitted. The 吃瓜头条 President and Vice President Education may cast their vote as 吃瓜头条 representatives. Either 吃瓜头条 officer may carry the 吃瓜头条鈥檚 two (2) votes, or each of the 吃瓜头条 officers may carry one (1) vote, as determined by the 吃瓜头条 membership. District Council members may cast a maximum of two (2) votes. District Executive Committee members are entitled to one (1) vote and may cast up to two (2) additional vote as a 吃瓜头条 President and/or Vice President Education for their 吃瓜头条.

All District Council meetings are held online only, except the Annual Meeting of the District Council. The District Executive Committee will decide if the Annual Meeting will be conducted hybrid (in-person and online) or online only. District Council meetings cannot be held entirely in-person.

The District leadership team will determine the best options based on what works best for the District. The simplest option is utilizing an online platform for both online and in-person attendees. However, this would require all attendees to have a device to vote (smartphone or other personal electronic devices). The District may also consider providing voting stations if some in-person attendees do not have an electronic device available to cast their vote.

Districts are not limited to these suggestions. Other platforms may be used at the discretion of the District leadership team.

• Determine the number of 吃瓜头条s in good standing.
  • Reference the most recent Distinguished Performance Reports dashboard. Use the Paid 吃瓜头条s to Date section to determine the number of paid 吃瓜头条s in the District.
• Multiply the number of 吃瓜头条s in good standing by two. (Each 吃瓜头条 in good standing automatically has two (2) votes for the District Council meeting.)
  • The result is the maximum number of votes possible from the total number of paid 吃瓜头条s in the District (base number for quorum).
    • Paid 吃瓜头条s that do not have representation from the 吃瓜头条 President or Vice President Education are counted in the quorum base number calculation.
• Once registration closes, tally the number of representative votes from the registered 吃瓜头条 Presidents and Vice Presidents Education.
• Use the number of tallied votes attending the meeting and divide by the quorum base number.
  • If the result is greater than or equal to .3334 (33.34%), quorum has been met.
  • If the result is less than .3334 (33.34%), quorum has not been met.

• Quorum is calculated ahead of time based on the number of District Council members who registered to attend the meeting.
  • Any member who registers to attend is expected and assumed to be present.
• If the Chair or other District Council member has a reason to believe that quorum is no longer present, a motion can be made to establish quorum.
  • A motion to establish quorum must be answered
• Special note:
  • Quorum can be difficult to determine by reviewing the number of members present through an online meeting platform.
    • Since quorum is determined by one-third of all 吃瓜头条 President鈥檚 and Vice President鈥檚 Education being represented (some carrying up to two (2) representative votes), counting the number of individuals in a meeting may not be an effective way to judge if quorum is present.

• Once a motion to establish a quorum is called and seconded by another member of the District Council, a special ballot may be created and sent to the voting members of the District Council.
  • Since some members of the District Council may be carrying up to two (2) representative votes, the special ballot may be most helpful to determine the number of representative votes present.

If quorum is not present, the District Council meeting will continue as if quorum was present. However, any business that is transacted at a meeting in which quorum is not present must then be approved by a majority of the District Council on the basis of two (2) votes per 吃瓜头条.
