The seventh proposal concerns the election of an official editor. This is one of the most important offices in our organization. It should be elective so that the members themselves might chose who they would have editing the official organ. The eighth proposal concerns the removal from office of an officer not doing his duty. At the moment we have one Director who hasn't taken any part in official procedure since March 27th. He had not been heard from since April 8th. The president has requested his resignation and did not receive a response of any nature. When the matter was presented to the Board of Directors they voted two for removal and two against removal of this Director from office. An impeachment procedure would be lengthy and expensive. It is our belief that in such a case the President should have the power to remove this officer from office, subject to the review of the Board of Directors. The ninth proposal eliminates a section which duplicates the proposed amendment in proposal eight. Some may think that this removes power from the Board of Directors, but if they will examine proposal number three, they will find that the Board still has the power under the broadening act. Below I have listed some of the comments received to date: "On the first proposal I think that a member should be stricken from the membership for not voting as well as neglecting to pay dues." "The power to revoke membership should remain in the hands of the Directorate." ((I'm sure that on reexamination you'll find that it does.D)) "The proposal to do away with subsection d of Art 5 A I looks, to me, like the attempt of someone to concentrate all power in the hands of a chosen few. For, I inquire, what other reason could there be in eliminating the prohibition against holding two offices at the same time?" "On the last proposal I think subsection e should stand, unless someone wants to do away with the checking powers of the Directorate." ((This section you'll find would be covered in the broadened powers of the Directorate.D)) Above are some of the comments that have come in. Look them over carefully. Review the proposed amendments carefully. They are presented toward the end of a better organization. -oOo- REPLY TO LANEY I see no reason why either Dale Tarr or I should apologize to F.T. Laney. On the contrary I believe that Francis T. Laney should apologize to the entire membership of the National Fantasy Fan Federation for so conducting himself that his motives and actions could be suspected of treason.
