Line 364 in e5898dc
Too specific about just club funding requests. This is a problem with the section in general.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 267 in e5898dc
Who is the College Conduct Officer? Is this an official at West Valley?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 372 in e5898dc
Do people do this? Seems impractical
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 186 in e5898dc
Reorganize. Most of this should not be under the GPA section.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 376 in e5898dc
This section implies that fundraising proceeds must go into the account. Is that correct?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 237 in e5898dc
Should we limit by how long? And does this delay the election of the other officials, if multiple are being elected?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 195 in e5898dc
May or must?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 232 in e5898dc
Do the other members require designees if they are also running for positions?
Are these the voting rights in the specific committee or in the senate or both? Also, reconsider this in general.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 420 in e5898dc
Are they only allowed to assign a designee if they are running for office?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 171 in e5898dc
Only class? What about other pre-existing commitments?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 164 in e5898dc
We should reference Brown Act here
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 232 in e5898dc
Can the members of this committee vote in the election?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 322 in e5898dc
The part about starting at most five minutes late should be moved to a different location.
Consider changing the numbering scheme for sections, clauses, subsections, etc, to just be flat numbering, or maybe something like (1.a.i.)+. For the moment this change is active, but we do need to consider whether we want it.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 332 in e5898dc
This wording is nebulous and impossible to enforce.
Note that the equivalent section for the Senate at large is much clearer and more specific:
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Lines 339 to 340 in e5898dc
Maybe we should adopt something similar, or these sections could be merged.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 369 in e5898dc
They must be approved, not just voted on.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 279 in e5898dc
This wording is a bit too specific. I would suggest changing it to just say "Individiuals cannot vote in a Vote of No Confidence against themselves".
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 161 in e5898dc
Is this redundant with Robert's Rules?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 275 in e5898dc
Clarify that this is in order to comply with Brown Act.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 282 in e5898dc
But can the advisor veto?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 383 in e5898dc
What does "Sanctioned" mean here?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 277 in e5898dc
This phrasing is awkward and confusing.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 288 in e5898dc
This item is misplaced at the start. It should be at the end of the article and say something like "In addition to the aforementioned standing committees, the Vice President ..."
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 232 in e5898dc
add a section to restrict and codify the allowed language in election ballot entries. For example, should candidates be allowed to include endorsements from previous Executive Board members?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 213 in e5898dc
Clarify what happens if the VP cannot attend the Senate meeting or the President cannot attend the Executive Board meeting.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 159 in e5898dc
What are "personnel matters"? Clarify this. Also, does this mean the meeting MUST be closed if considering personnel matters, or just that it MUST be open if not? We could possibly use "if and only if" to clarify.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 433 in e5898dc
Isn't this more of the responsibility of the Director of Records?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 438 in e5898dc
The restriction and wording seems strange. Maybe remove everything at "for" and after.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 422 in e5898dc
How about misfeasance and nonfeasance?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 316 in e5898dc
We need to require that such a sheet is provided to begin with.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 223 in e5898dc
Why should officers post their work hours?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 202 in e5898dc
It's unclear what a permanent ASWVC position is. This causes confusion because it seems like executive board members are not also senators.
The articles about the executive board are spread out too much. We should combine them into one.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Lines 306 to 309 in e5898dc
This is a good idea, but we need to clarify what the committee can/should actually do. I assume we would have to take action to decide on an official decision. But the specifics are unclear and should be clarified.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 405 in e5898dc
This sentence is not grammatical but it's too unclear to be corrected automatically.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 436 in e5898dc
Clarify that this is in their capacity as the chair of the bylaws committee.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 429 in e5898dc
What about a designee?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 148 in e5898dc
This implies that committee meetings count as "regular meetings", which entails a lot of other requirements throughout the bylaws. We should make sure that these entailed requirements are all intended to apply to committee meetings rather than just the main Senate meetings. Also, the wording is a bit unclear because we mention "Regular meetings of the ASWVC excluding committee meetings" but then we also say "Regular meetings of the ASWVC Senate". Is there a difference? If not, we should use one for all uses here.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 157 in e5898dc
This is never done. Remove?
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 154 in e5898dc
Clarify what "formally" means here
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 209 in e5898dc
Why would a senator need an excused absence for an event? Clarify
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 367 in e5898dc
Add a section which requires people who want to create clubs to meet with the Director of Club Engagement. This might replace the requirement for clubs to have an advisor, or we could say that the Director of Club Engagement would be the "pseudo-advisor" of that club.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 167 in e5898dc
make into a section called Quorum with one subsection for definition and another for requirement
The requirement about voting member is already stated. No need to repeat it. Also, what if that section was removed?
We allow people with responsibilities to appoint designees as necessary, but we should probably be clear about the qualifications required for those designees.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 367 in e5898dc
Change "must" to "may", and possibly add a section which would require club officers to meet with the Director of Club Engagement at least once a month for funding. The DoCE recommended this in a Bylaws meeting a while ago.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 316 in e5898dc
"At the beginning" is unclear. If it was truly at the beginning, they would be able to participate in the approval of agenda and minutes. Maybe this section is unnecessary.
aswvc-bylaws-and-constitution/doc.typ
Line 321 in e5898dc
Do we ever track tardiness? And should we?
I would like to codify a specific preferred voting system. I would prefer Ranked Choice.
