Re: [RC] Bylaws Ammendent - Heidi Smith



But how does the AERC tell whether a member is a citizen, a resident
alien, an illegal alien or a French guy on vacation in the US? My
point is, this amendment is unnecessary because there is no check
in place...only a US or Canadian address. So the rule should only
be something like: "A Regular Member is a person that has a valid
US or Canadian mailing address and has coughed up the necessary membership
fees."

So why vote on something that isn't and can't be enforced? I personally
think the above is better. Rather than having us all provide passports
or birth certificates or the I-9 requirements or whatever.


April, even though proof of residency status is not necessary at this time
and no "enforcement" plans are in place, it IS necessary simply because if
it is NOT changed, then the votes of these people can be challenged by
anyone who chooses to do so, and rightfully so.  Furthermore, some people
ARE honest, and would simply not vote, knowing they could not "legally" do
so.  Why penalize the honest ones?
