Maker of Motion:  John A. – Shared Services Representative

Seconded By:  Robert F. – Vice-Chair

Motion:      To send back to groups for approval the following election procedures for the OCNA Board of Directors:

  • 1.      Each Region (Ohio and Buckeye) shall elect 3 members to the Board.

  • 2.      The Board will organize itself:  that is, to decide which members would be    facilitator, co-facilitator, financial advisor, etc.

  • 4.      Staggered terms (first election only):  1 one-year term, 1 two-year term, 1 three-year term.

Intent:  To implement the OCNA Board of Directors.

Pro:  To allow for conformity between OCNA conventions from the 2 regions.

Con:  None presented

Vote:  BACK TO AREAS

The Buckeye Region offered an amendment to this motion that, in the event of either
region being unable to fill all of their positions, the other region would be allowed to
fill those vacancies. 

The amendment failed

The motion, as originally written, passed at the Ohio RSC.

 

Motion 2004:16                 Date:  4-18-04

Maker of Motion:  John A. – MOASCNA RCM

Seconded By:  Robert F. – Vice-Chair

Motion:  The Region shall reimburse the host area of the Regional meeting up to $200.00 or $100 per day.  To be included under Section 4.3 as second sentence of 4.3.2.

Intent:  To insure a reasonable cost for our Regional meetings.

Pro:  Clarification of procedure and application of 11th concept.

Con:  Limits where RSC meeting could be held.

Vote:  BACK TO AREAS

Motion PASSED

 

Motion 2003:34                 Date:  10-5-03

Maker of Motion:  Al S. – HRP-1

Seconded By:  Jim L. – COASCNA RCM

Motion:  For the Ohio Region to withdraw from its participation in the
              Midwest Zonal Forum.

Intent:  Our participation in the forum has been time-consuming for the Trusted Servants delegated to attend and financially tapping the RSC for little information that doesn’t effect the function of our present service structure.  Our need for participation does not help us carry out our primary purpose.

Pro:  Large financial savings vs. small amount of information given.

Con:  We should stay and be part of the growth and change of the MZF.

Motion to table:    David L., RD Alternate, made a motion to table this motion until the July 2004 RSC.  If the Conference Agenda Report (CAR) motions pass at the May, 2004 World Service Conference, then the Zonal Forums will be the only avenue to get motions to the WSC.  See Resolution A that was in the July 2003 meeting minutes.

Vote:         5-3-2

Motion tabled to July RSC

Vote at July RSC:     5-5-0

Due to a tie vote of the RCM’s, the vote was opened to ORSCNA trusted servants

Vote of trusted servants:  4-4-0

Motion then went to the ORSCNA Chair for vote to break the tie

ORSCNA Chair voted against this motion

Motion failed – ORSCNA will still participate in the Midwest Zonal Forum
