> Dear Users Group Members,
>
> This is to announce that we are holding a vote on two proposed 
> changesfor the Users Group Bylaws; each change will be voted on 
> separately.I've summarized the two changes below, while the web page 
> where you will cast your votes will have the full text of the proposed 
> changes.The present Bylaws can be found here: 
> https://wiki.jlab.org/cugwiki/index.php/Bylaws
>
> *The first proposal is to change the chair line from the current four 
> year cycle (one year as vice chair, two as chair, and one as past 
> chair) to a modified cycle (one year vice chair, one as chair elect, 
> one as chair, and one as past chair). The benefit is that chairswill 
> be more experienced when they take over as chair (having served 2 
> years already), and that there will be more people in the four-year 
> chair line at a given time, providing more leadership in organizing 
> the various user group activities and greater continuity. The downside 
> of this is that people will serve as chair for only a single year, but 
> we believe that this will be balanced by the benefits mentioned above.
>
> *The second proposed change is an expansion of the "statement on 
> non-discrimination"
