Don't worry the dude that drafted it shoved it into the resolutions as well (which need simply majority)

re:Monthly dues

The option on the website still exists. I've already spoke with members of my chapter delegation to do a chapter level monthly dues drive.

Also, spoke the monthly dues guy, he said he's more concerned with the resolution than the constitutional amendment anyways.

I'm reading tweets that it's "preferred"? Can someone confirm if it's mandatory or not?

i don't think it matters much tbh. I'm really worried people will see monthly and immediately back out

I'm pretty sure it's just shuffling the pages around on the website, not actually changing the dues structure significantly.

if they just add it as an option along with the others i don't see it having much of an effect compared to what members fees does already. That said if they put it front and center then eeeeesh

It's already an option. In fact, that's what I did and consequently I've been free-riding because I had to close that card and haven't bothered to re-do it yet. Get an angry letter from Maria Svart every month...

Should really fix that, hmm...

The plenary on organizing and recruitment strategies has been replaced with additional discussion of amendments and points of order in what is probably the most perfect microcosm of leftism in history.

I feel like there may have been more time for debate and discussion if they hadn't spent so much time debating and discussing whether to carve out more time for debate and discussion.

A hero with a better grasp of parliamentary procedure than the rest of us made it so that didn't happen and forced the lanyards to deal with it.

I'm surprised people still use RR that much; they really shouldn't be treated as though they were handed down by a prophet imo, mainly in that it tends to sometimes turn assemblies into competitions of who understands their Roberts better.
