Proposal 86: Aligning 1A.3 How the Rulebook is Updated with reality [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: Main CommitteeSubmitted on 2019-05-23
Status: Passed on June 07, 2019
Background
This section does not reflect reality. In part it is more ambitious than reality, in part it is simply outdated.
The discussion about this subject may not have reached conclusion, but time for submitting proposals has almost run out.
Proposal
OLD RULE
1A.3 How the Rulebook is Updated
This publication should be updated after every Unicon. The IUF Rulebook Chair will head the committee, but may optionally name a sub-committee. The Rulebook Committee will officially start meeting at the close of the Unicon, though the Chairperson can open it before, to take advantage of having so many persons physically together. The Committee should finish their business and make their specific proposals within three (3) months of the close of the Unicon. If they need more time, they may ask the IUF President for a time extension. This is meant to be the only time that changes to the Rulebook are made, although exceptions are possible in extraordinary cases. The IUF President is responsible for making sure that the Rulebook committee stays focused and on schedule.
Anyone may submit a potential change to IUF Rulebook at any time. These will not be official proposals, but suggestions for potential topics during the next Rulebook session.
A forum will also be provided to discuss potential changes throughout the year. The Rulebook Committee voting time frame and official members of the Rulebook Committee, however, will still be determined by the IUF Rulebook Committee Chair and the IUF Executive Board.
NEW RULE
1A.3 How the Rulebook is Updated
This Rulebook should be updated after every Unicon. This is meant to be the only time that changes to the Rulebook are made, although exceptions are possible in extraordinary cases.
Updating the Rulebook is the responsibility of the IUF Rulebook Chair, who will head the Rulebook Committee, but may optionally name one or more sub-committees, e.g. for various Rulebook Chapters. The Rulebook Committee will officially start meeting at the close of the Unicon, though the Chairperson can open it before, to take advantage of having so many persons physically together.
The Rulebook Committee voting time frame and official members of the Rulebook Committee will be determined by the IUF Rulebook Committee Chair and the IUF Executive Board. The Committee should strive to finish their business and make their specific proposals to the IUF Executive Board within three months of the close of the Unicon. If they need more time, they may ask the IUF President for a time extension. The IUF President is responsible for making sure that the Rulebook committee stays focused and on schedule.
Anyone may submit a potential change to IUF Rulebook at any time through https://unicycling.org/contact/. These will not be official proposals, but suggestions for potential topics during the next Rulebook session.
Body
I have rearranged sentences and also made some changes to the content. Notably, I have deleted the sentence about a forum being provided, because until now this has not been done. OTOH, I have added a contact link where anyone can send suggestions for Rulebook changes.
