Dear President Rawlings,

I would like to convey Resolution 55: Updating the Special Rules to you.

This resolution is sponsored by Jordan Berger and Matthew Stefanko. This resolution updates the Special Rules.

The major changes are as follows:
In order to streamline the general body meetings, a resolution is considered Old Business if it has previously been discussed or a formal presentation has been given during a regular meeting of the Assembly
The validity of a proxy vote will be determined by the majority of members present

Dear Jordan,

Thank you for conveying Resolution 53 to me. I am returning it for reconsideration for a couple of reasons.

First, in the resolution you state that these are revisions to the Charter; however, the document that was attached was the Bylaws. The resolution needs to be revised to reflect the correct document being changed.

Dear President Rawlings,

I would like to convey Resolution 53: Updating the Charter to you.

This resolution is sponsored by Jordan Berger and Matthew Stefanko. This resolution updates the Charter to remove outdated information and inefficiencies.

In the appendix you will see that the major changes include:
The Executive Vice President will chair the Executive Committee
The Vice President for Public Relations will prepare and curate the SA newsletter
Regular meeting times and places will be announced up to 72 hours in advance
