AMEND:Section8. The National Executive Board shall have at least two regularly scheduled meetings every year at such times and places as shall be designated by the President. Advance notice of the meetings shall be published at least 30 days prior to the meeting unless the meeting is an emergency meeting. A copy of the minutes of all meetings shall be prepared as soon as practicable and then posted on the members-only section of the NATCA web site within 14 days of the meeting. A quorum of the Executive Board shall be at least two-thirds of its members.

The National Executive Board may conduct business via teleconferences, provided these meet the minutes criteria of regularly scheduled meetings, but teleconferences do not satisfy the requirements of regularly scheduled meetings.

SRI-6 Minutes of Meetings

AMEND: The National Executive Board and all National committees shall publish minutes, including a record of how each member of the Committee or Board voted (in other than unanimous decisions). A copy of the published minutes and voting record shall be prepared as soon as practicable within 14 days of the  meeting and then posted on the members-only section of the NATCA web site. There is not an expectation that an informal telcon or briefing requires minutes.

Rationale: The length of time it has taken for NEB meeting minutes to come out over the last year or so is unacceptable. In my Local constitution, our Eboard minutes are required to be published within seven days of the Eboard meeting and the Membership meeting minutes have the same requirement. Having the NEB publish minutes for the members to see within 14 days is not unreasonable in any way. If Article IV Section 8 is amended, SRI-6 will also require amendment.
