Summary: The amendment removes ambiguity by explicitly specifying the term for Alternate members of the Board.

Proposed revision (new text in bold):

Article IV, Section 3 (alternate members): By default, Alternate members are non-voting members of the Board. However, an Alternate member may be designated by the Chairman as a voting member whenever a voting Board member is absent from any meeting or fails to participate in any electronic ballot. If a Regional Director is absent, the Chairman should give preference to an Alternate member from that Region. The term of all Alternate members shall expire at the beginning of each Regular Convention.

This amendment is proposed by the Board of Directors.

Summary: The amendment changes the official abbreviation of the organization from “RLC-CA” to “RLCCA”.

Proposed revision (removed text struck through, new text in bold)

Article 1: Name: The name of this organization shall be the Republican Liberty Caucus of California, abbreviated as RLC-CA RLCCA, hereinafter referred to as the “Charter”. The organization is a recognized Chartered State Chapter of the national Republican Liberty Caucus, hereinafter referred to as “Caucus”.

This amendment is proposed by the Board of Directors.
