A special meeting of the full membership of NCBC was held on 2/3/12 to vote on new bylaws proposed by the Board. Annabelle Hills called the meeting to order at 12:-02 pm, then turned the meeting over to Jerry Lebo, Chairman of the Bylaws Committee. Jerry invited questions and comments from the floor.

After a brief question period, ballots were distributed, collected and tabulated. The proposed bylaws were approved by a margin of 64 to 14 – which included 32 proxy votes cast earlier in the week by players who were unable to attend the Friday meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 12:20.

The bylaws are now published on The Daily Recap, for logged in users only, under  Games / Club Info, where you can also find a list of the most significant changes.

Several large websites are protesting two bills making their way though Congress, by showing their home page in black, or by becoming unavailable.  These bills deserve our attention. The bills are unlikely to affect The Daily Recap or you directly, but their passage will affect many sites and services you use.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has a summary of the bills' negative effects here: link. Of course, you can find many other explanations all over the web.

Minutes of the 1/13 Board meeting have been published to the website.  To review, click on Games, Club Information, NCBC. (You must be logged in to see the minutes.)

The following NCBC members have recently earned a change in rank as posted on the Florida Unit 128 website. Congratulations to all!
