NSS BOG E-Vote - Blue Springs Book

Postby JeanDeVries » Feb 7, 2010 7:59 pm

An email vote is deemed necessary to allow time for production of a time sensitive special publication.

Florea Moves: The NSS will publish an initial 350 copies of Larry Matthews 346-page book titled Blue Springs, using a print-on-demand method. 300 of these copies will be printed on softcover and the remaining will be printed on hardcover. The cost of the initial print will not exceed $5,500.00.

Discussion: The details have previously covered ad nauseum. One last point to answer a potential question is that retail prices are included on the covers, as per the current publishing trend. Those prices will remain, for this print run, $50 for hard bound and $30 for soft bound. We can change this easily in a future print run, we need only pay a second cover set-up fee.

This email vote will begin today February 7, 2010 and continue for twelve days until February 19, 2010 when it will conclude and the results announced on the NSS website within 24 hours.

(Posted for President Gordon Birkhimer)

As President I have been requested to conduct an official email ballot according to the guidelines established in Act 06-183 Mail Ballots 4-7-01, 8-24-68, 11-16-68 after four members of the Board requested this action, namely Florea, Shrewsbury, Kayes, and Liebman. To be adopted, this Motion by email requires a two-thirds affirmative vote of the entire Board of Governors. The text of any matter that was the subject of a mail ballot, with the vote of each member, will be read into the minutes of the subsequent meeting. Notice of this proposed action will be posted to the Society web site not later than the day following the transmission of the call for the vote.

An email vote is deemed necessary to allow time for production of a time sensitive special publication. I believe there has been adequate discussion and the deadline for the end of discussion has concluded with the voting beginning immediately today February 7, 2010. The deadline for voting will be 12 days and ending on February 19, 2010. Votes are subject to each member’s reconsideration until the approved deadline. We are voting on the following motion:
Florea Moves: The NSS will publish an initial 350 copies of Larry Matthews’ 346-page book titled Blue Springs, using a print-on-demand method. 300 of these copies will be printed on softcover and the remaining will be printed on hardcover. The cost of the initial print will not exceed $5,500.00.
