Tom -

As you know, the procedures for the SGM were approved by the National Board.

Article IV of the Constitution says in part that "The Society shall be
structured so as to have a National Board of Directors whose primary function
shall be to establish policies and priorities of the Society."

Article VIII goes on to say that "The National Board shall meet ... to deal with
the orderly conduct of business properly brought before the meeting."

The board has by its actions fulfilled its governance responsibility in full
compliance with the Constitution.  It has provided a process for the SGM whereby
the full society membership can participate in this important decision.
