Proposal 8: Updating and Publishing the USA Rulebook [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: General CommitteeSubmitted on 2016-02-02
Status: Passed on February 11, 2016
Background
This proposal determines a publishing day for the USA Rulebook
Proposal
Old Rule:
1.1.1 Updating This Rulebook
This publication should be updated every two years after the IUF Rulebook is updated. The Committee should finish their business and make their specific proposals within three (3) months after the new IUF Rulebook is published. If they need more time, they may ask the USA Board for a time extension. This is meant to be the only time that changes to the Rulebook are made, although exceptions are possible in extraordinary cases. The USA Board is responsible for making sure that the Rulebook committee stays focused and on schedule. Anyone may submit a potential change to IUF Rulebook at any time. These will not be official proposals, but suggestions for potential topics during the next Rulebook session. A forum will also be provided to discuss potential changes throughout the year. The Rulebook Committee voting time frame and official members of the Rulebook Committee, however, will still be determined by the IUF Rulebook Committee Chair and the IUF Executive Board.
New Rule:
1.1.1 Updating This Rulebook
This publication should be updated every two years after the IUF Rulebook is updated. The Committee should finish their business and publicize the publication no less than four months before the start day of the next NAUCC. This is meant to be the only time that changes to the Rulebook are made, although exceptions are possible in extraordinary cases. The USA Board is responsible for making sure that the Rulebook Committee stays focused and on schedule. Anyone may submit a potential change to the Rulebook at any time. These will not be official proposals, but suggestions for potential topics during the next Rulebook session. A forum can also be provided to discuss potential changes throughout the year.
Body
The current USA Rule doesn't specify how far in advance before NAUCC the USA Rulebook needs to be published. This rule will set this timeline.
