OGB Policy pertaining to the Constitution
RESOLVED at OGB meeting April 2, 2008 PDT
Rather than focusing the OGB's energies on updating the constitution (which would be an easy task to take on), we explicitly choose instead to tackle the harder task of discovering how to empower the community and make it effective and successful. Consequently, the OGB will:
- Seek to work within the terms of the existing Constitution wherever possible
- In cases where there is an apparent obstacle caused by the Constitution, attempt to pass a process resolution that interprets the Constitution so as to avoid the obstacle
- In cases where this is not possible, temporarily and explicitly ignore the letter of the constitution as we experiment with alternatives that might actually work for us, and then submit a Constitutional Amendment to the next Annual Meeting implementing the solution that was found to work.
