Okay,
One of the newer folks here will ask the silly question. I would assume, (they tell ya to never do this), that there is a process by which an idea or motion can be introduced at the board level. Most likely by a voting board member in good standind at either an open or closed membership attended board meeting. Perhaps would be addressed to the president of KCBS and the chair of the technology committee?
That motion might read something like,
"I (Board member name here), would like to propose the following project on behalf of the general membership, be adopted for consideration in the current calendar year. Included in this motion is a proposal to either research, create, or otherwise modify or purchase the following software to facilate the creation of standardized team UID numbers and to create a uniform identifier so as to allow better record keeping of the current standing and scores.
This proposal/charter associated with this motion would include the developement of the following functions, and features and would also provide the following benefits to the general membership at large. Yada, Yada, Yada..."
A discussion would then be either permitted by either the acting president or it might be referred to the chair of the technology committee, and or tabled with a reasonable reason noted in the minutes with an option for due consideration at a later time frame.
Does the BoD operation under some fashion there of related to classic Robert's Rules of order or does it follow a different set of By-laws? Not seeing them immediately on the website. Can a member in good standing construct a proposal and have it submitted to the board via a board member?
Perhaps this has already been done in the past relating to having due consideration for proposals being submitted to the technology committee by various shops and or programming houses? IE A request for proposals with estimated costs associated with this sort of developement work and or purchase or lease of a system? :crazy::idea:
