The AMC has put this on the ballot. It is titled "Replacement of Regional Vice-Chairmen"
| Proposed amendment:
a. In Article III, Section (10)(a), first sentence, insert “, other than Regional Vice-Chairmen,” after “Elective and appointive officers”. The resulting sentence would then be “Elective and appointive officers, other than Regional Vice-Chairmen, may be removed by resolution of the American Mensa Committee for any of the following reasons:”.
b. In Article III, delete the current language in section (11) and its subsections, and replace them with the following:
(11) In the event of the resignation, removal, advancement, or death of an elective officer other than a Regional Vice-Chairman, or in the event of an office other than Regional Vice-Chairman not being filled by election, the remaining members of the American Mensa Committee shall elect a successor to fill the office for the remainder of the term of office; provided that, in the case of vacancy in the office of Chairman or First Vice-Chairman, the officer(s) next in line shall move up and the successor shall serve in the office of Second Vice-Chairman.

The title of the amendment is misleading. The purpose of the amendment is to *remove* RVCs from the replacement process. This codifies the current reality as dictated by NY law and the AMC's refusal to spend so much as a penny insuring effective representation on the AMC in all cases.
See ASIE 2012-023, which was enacted at the last AMC meeting, to see the new procedure for dealing with an RVC vacancy.
