>> *Samer - you had asked for changes:*

>> *1. GA Agenda-  Include a "Open Expression Session"*
>>
>> *2. Bylaws- To include following clauses:*

>>
>> *GSA Transition of Authority *
>>
>>
>>
>> *After the yearly elections and the selection of a new executive team,
>> the former executive team shall work side by side with the new executive

>>
>> *B-* Also for avoiding what is going on with Mr. Ocheoha, and with the
>> staff, and in order to save the GSA a lot of dearly needed money (starting
>> off with 24000 CAD a year), I present the following clause:
>>
>> *Defining Roles, Positions, and Related Salaries*
>>
>> *All roles and positions employed by and working within the GSA are
>> viewed as volunteers. This includes executives, directors, and employees.
>> Based on this definition salaried employees will have their salaries
>> revolving between the minimum wage and the minimum wage +60%, depending on
>> the role and type of work and years of service. Furthermore, the salaries
>> for all executives shall be 712 CAD in today’s dollars (24th of September
>> 2016) and can only be adjusted by inflation on a quarterly basis.*
>>
>> *C-* To avoid our newly founded legal capability be abused by elected
>> GSA members on personal issues and internal fights, as going on right now,
>> I propose the following clause:
>>
>> *Zero Liability for Misconduct *
>>
>> *In the case found that any internal legal issue was the result of
>> personal, racism, or personal misconduct on behalf of any legally
>> represented GSA elected member, the GSA holds no liability to represent
>> that person or suffer the consequences of his or her actions. This policy
>> is to be decided and enforced by the council whenever deemed needed.*
>>
>> I know Mahsa addressed some items over email, I wanted to ask you if you
>> still want these changes (as you have provided) to be reflected in the
>> Bylaws?
>>
>> Once you confirm I will send out the new draft of the Bylaws.
