Ok, Mera, I'll repost my amendment to make it easier
for you to find from the backlog. I have boldfaced the 2 parts that I am
amended from the original main motion, to make it easier to see what the actual
amendment is.

it.

@Jacalyn Boggs this was the proposed friendly amendment. Good
with the changes?
Judy Mitchell 2 years ago
@Mera Rose could you (or the recording secretay)
please change to the proper wording for my amendment over on the Motions
channel? It is still incorrect.

Mera Rose 2 years ago
Ah, I had changed it to the friendly amendment wording that Jacalyn gave... do
you want to a proper amendment instead?
Mera Rose 2 years ago
In other words, sorry, tired and that isn’t phrased well - do you want to
propose your wording as an amendment instead of doing a friendly amendment?
Jacalyn Boggs 2 years ago
Mera take the wording that I gave the other day. Then
it will hopefully make betsy feel better too. I am
amendable to that as a friendly amendment to try and please everyone.
Judy Mitchell 2 years ago
Yes i do. Thank you.
Jacalyn Boggs 2 years ago
I’m really tired and haven’t felt well today. I have tried to take it easy.
Jacalyn Boggs 2 years ago
But there’s no reason to derail the entire thing with people making constant
amendments, especially since the ICG handles this so bizarrely.
Mera Rose 2 years ago
Ok - before I get confused - Jacalyn, are you ok with using Judy’s language
above as a friendly amendment? Would you like to rewrite your
friendly amendment to include Judy and Betsy’s language?
Jacalyn Boggs 2 years ago
Whatever that thing was I posted Saturday. I don’t even remember what it said.
I honestly cannot even focus because of how bad I feel. I’m just going to go to
bed and hope for a better day tomorrow.
Judy Mitchell 2 years ago
Sorry you're not feeling well. But the motions channel seens
to be where the official wording is, so it really should show the actual
amendment.
Mera Rose 2 years ago
Would you happen to have the rewording Judy? Or is this the
rewording in the first message in the thread?
Mera Rose 2 years ago
Want to make sure it’s correct
Judy Mitchell 2 years ago
Its at the top of this thread.
Mera Rose 2 years ago
Who was the second on it? Or was it done with Jacalyn as a friendly
amendment?
Jacalyn Boggs 2 years ago
I amend my motion to: I move that the ICG finance committee solicit three
quotes to hire a lawyer, with non-profit and international law experience and
licensed in the state of Maryland to draft a. A code of conduct b. A
non-discrimination policy c. An anti-harassment policy. The quotes
must be received and the least expensive will be chosen by November 30, 2019,
with the drafted policies to be received from the attorney no later than
December 31, 2019 so that a vote can be completed by January 31, 2020.
Jacalyn Boggs 2 years ago
This was a combination of what was offered by Judy and by Betsy. Make this a
friendly amendment. I’m good with it
Jacalyn Boggs 2 years ago
I went and snagged it from the pinned post.
Mera Rose 2 years ago
I’ll go back through the thread and find all of this in the morning and
clarify. Sorry, small one out of bed with a nightmare. Need
to manage her. Post here or tag me in thread so I can find it fast
in the morning please?
Jacalyn Boggs 2 years ago
I really want that part about how to select a lawyer. Though I would be curious
how much that non profits lawyer group you talked to
cost because I think that might be a good option and I bet they could handle
this. If you got any info on that group and could share, let us know. If
it is like the services in Virginia like that, they rock and are quite
affordable and I’m happy to make a motion to go with them for legal needs or
whatever. Thanks. I’m going to bed because honestly I just can’t even
anymore with this day.
Jacalyn Boggs 2 years ago
But Mera look at my text for the friendly amendment.
If Judy doesn’t like some random word and drops it in here I will look at it in
the AM to see if I will accept it or not. I just don’t want to do anything else
tonight.
Mera Rose 2 years ago
Maryland NonProfits is $100 annual fee, which is
based on our annual income and budget and the benefits do include access to
their attorneys and they have a lot of resources on their site so it may be
worth it to investigate those because they may actually have what we need or
something that we can make a few changes to and have their attorneys review
pretty cheaply.

Jacalyn Boggs 2 years ago
Wow that’s even cheaper than I expected! Holy moly why aren’t we using them (or
something like this)?
Mera Rose 2 years ago
I don’t think anyone knew they existed until Dragan found them. I
was floored by how helpful they have been in free consultations on Friday and
in my discussion with them yesterday.
Mera Rose 2 years ago
I have messaged you, Betsy, and Judy to see if your friendly amendment wording
works for everyone and asking that if it doesn’t y’all try to work something
out that does. If it doesn’t look possible then I’ve asked for each
of you to send amendments so that they can be appropriately stacked as
amendments to the amendment to the motion and then I’ll suss
out the clock on them and we’ll run it as a 5 day objection on each amendment
until we have a motion finalized.
Mera Rose 2 years ago
Judy, I have your amendment as above if the friendly amendment does work out so
no need to resend it, and your amendment came before Betsy’s so it will be your
amendment to amend Jacalyn’s first proposed friendly amendment, and Betsy’s
will be the first to be voted on because it was the last proffered. So
it will be Betsy’s, then Judy’s, the Jacalyn’s friendly, then the motion,
unless other amendments are brought that stop the clock further.
Judy Mitchell 2 years ago
The short answer is No, what you have written (again) is not what i wrote. You continually drop put an important phrase
"investigate to hire". That is not acceptable, it is not my anendment.
Im not gettimg into any
more right niw as im still
in ICU and Ralph keeps talking about wanting to die and why wont
we let him (hes not hooked up to any of those
machines currently anyway) its all very stressful
Mera Rose 2 years ago
So sorry you’re going through that. So Betsy’s amendment will go to
vote first, then yours, then Jacalyn’s friendly and whatever that leads the
motion to be will be voted on last. So that sets us out almost 60
days with discussion periods before a vote on the original motion. Once
I have Betsy’s text I’ll start the clock on her motion to amend.
Jacalyn Boggs 2 years ago
So wow. That’s messed up. This is worse than congress
Betsy R. Marks 2 years ago
I will post my amendment for 11-06-2019-1 to the main list, so that it isn't
lost in this thread, as soon as the NoEL
representative officially withdraws hers on the top level of the group, not
nested in replies.As my previous amendment was
denied, this version will contain slightly altered text, incorporating most of
Judy's remarks and the NoVA representative's wording.
Please advise at once if there are any issues of which I am unaware.

Mera Rose 2 years ago
Just make sure to state it’s an amendment to the amendment (11-06-2019-1a) so I
can correctly label it as 11-06-2019-1a1 and it should be good to go... as
long as Judy’s good with it, otherwise hers would be 1a1 and yours would be
1a1a.
Betsy R. Marks 2 years ago
That's fine. Sorry to have mislabeled it.
Mera Rose 2 years ago
Don’t want to be a stickler, but just for clarity (because this one is
obviously going to get easily confused) can you just add to the thread in that
motion that this is a motion to amend the amendment please?
Mera Rose 2 years ago
Records and all ya know
Betsy R. Marks 2 years ago
Point of Order: If the NoEL motion is withdrawn, am I
amending the amendment or the original motion?
Mera Rose 2 years ago
The amendment offered by Nova on their original motion.
Betsy R. Marks 2 years ago
Got it.
Mera Rose 2 years ago
So it stops the clock on their amendment, begins the clock on your amendment,
then goes back to their amendment, then back to the original motion.
Betsy R. Marks 2 years ago
Correct.
Mera Rose 2 years ago
Always fun trying to stack these correctly lol
