LET IT THEREFORE BE RESOLVED that the following text be added to the AGS bylaws under a section entitled “Web Resolutions”

·  Web Resolutions refers to resolutions, bills and other AGS business requiring a vote of AGS council members voted on using the AGS website, eee or another online polling resource.  The purpose of these Web Resolutions is to prevent relatively unimportant (administrative) legislation from taking up undue council time.  Web Resolutions must NOT be used to pass important legislation without proper consideration by the AGS council.  

·  All Web Resolutions must be voted on one week before the AGS council meeting at which they are going to be ratified so that they will appear on the draft AGS agenda posted one week before that AGS council meeting.

·  Closed, anonymous voting will not be allowed for Web Resolutions. 

·  Any council member may anonymously force a Web Resolution to be become a regular piece of AGS business to be considered during the next AGS council meeting by emailing the AGS president.  Text explaining this right must appear in all Web Resolutions.

·  A block of Web Resolutions (if any) will appear on the AGS agenda to be ratified en-masse during the council meeting.  Ratifying Web Resolutions requires unanimous approval of all members in attendance.  Any Web Resolution that is not unanimously ratified will become an agenda item to be voted on as a usual piece of AGS business.

·  The following items may never be voted for on using a Web Resolution:
1) Appointments to AGS Vice Presidential positions
2) Expenditures more than $1,000
