forward without having our own attorneys representation. A consolidation would likelytake at least 2 years to complete. Members would vote in January 2012 to move forward.Consider an electronic voting process for this vote in order to encourage voting on thisissue.

Finalize remaining organizational dates/events: Any dates not finalized, need to be doneso shortly. Banquet date consensus seems to be earlier than later (April 14th). StateTournament dinner February 27th. Board retreat April 22nd. Tim would like to focus onleadership training during part of the retreat (could we share training with SOWB?) BobOliver is the individual Tim would like to invite to the 2012 retreat.

6. New Business Constitution By-Law changes: Tim would like to review proposed Constitution By-Law

changes. Tim will summarize proposed changes and post to website. Timsrecommendations are as follows:

Tim would like assessment fee waived for board members as one of the potentialchanges. Tim would like Sam to investigate what it would cost to waiveassessment for board members.

Change in committees structure. Consider adding language to allow for electronic voting. Review committee changes and practice on hearings. Drew is concerned about

short-circuiting due process if we change practice on hearings. Removal of attendance requirements, onus on the board to engage membership.

State Tournament sit rule: Are we going to apply the same rules as last year? Timwants Andy to get with John/Rodney on how we are going to apply rules. 2nd

weekend is considered state for purposes of the sit rule. Tim wants correct language inthe minutes for future.

Communications: Review everything through Andy for blasts. Presidents review committee: Took 2 issues from E&G, and declined to review both

issues. MLK sponsorship: Ron Bollinger has asked if PNBOA is interested in sponsoring again

for UW MLK tourney. $200 is requested includes full page add, food, free entry for allofficials.

WOA Mass email: Email from Todd about members walking around naked. Board does

not think that this should be something that our association should communicate. If Toddwants to send out email then he should do it under WOA auspices. Tim will addressgenerally with membership.

Action items for February 2012 WOA meeting: Tim wants to discuss consolidation intoArbiter. Tim would like additional board attendance at WOA meeting. John will submit hisissues for meeting direct to Cindy as well. Tim would like to see a list from WOA of localassociations arent required to use Arbiter and what criteria was used to formulate thatdecision. Use of SSNs for WOA registration process is still an open issue.

College assignments policy review: Policy review concerns of how Member Aassignments are being handled. Tim reviewed policy. John explained his logic behindthe assignments associated with those assignments as it relates to the AlaskaTournament. John would like the assignment of this tournament for officials of thePNBOA. John did concede that maybe too many assignments with high-level officialswithin our group, and potentially outside the spirit of the policy. John indicated that hesnot taking games from any other varsity officials that could be working. Concern stemsabout coddling of college officials working together. Sam doesnt think that we shouldchange assignments at this point, but consider future assignments. Mike wants to makesure we are not second-guessing assignments.
