First Diet Coke of the Day

Our Lady of Perpetual Diet Coke

Back to the bylaws, but we had a new credentials report:
306 delegates
437 proxy votes
240 athlete votes
Total: 983

Exhibit F - duties of the secretary - adopted as presented.
Exhibit G - adding IRS language for restricted gifts to the Memorial Fund - adopted as presented.

Exhibit H - New grievance and disciplinary proceedings for Safe Sport to be taken over by U.S. Center for Safe Sport. This would only be for matters of sexual abuse and misconduct and other types of incidents would be handled by U.S. Figure Skating. Adopted as presented.

And now we're heading into the committee reports and the isolated RFAs. First up is Athlete Services Group and since they had no requests for action, it's just quick reports.

Second up is the Membership Development  Group lead by Mr. Ed Mann.  And nothing isolated. Not even the dues increase that seemed to be the hot topic at yesterday's Critical Issues. Still time I guess.

The Technical Group, lead by Lynn Goldman. She discussed the new conflict of interest disclosure policy for all technical panel and judges that was more encompassing than the prior policy. Looks at any type of monetary arrangements (including skate sharpening, music cutting, etc.)
The Technical Group had the majority of the isolations from this morning and a few more were added.
#307 - regarding byes.
#310 - Duties of the Event Referee and the Stops.
#317 - IJS principles of calculation

For those playing the home game, here are the items that are isolated: 302, 307, 308, 310, 317, 330 and 501.
#302 - The isolators don't like the fact that a special award was created for Adult Nationals and that the guidelines are not included in the proposal. Right now the criteria would be included in the announcement.  The motion to rescind the decision of the board failed, although there were lots of votes in favor of rescinding.

Time for lunch!!
