Here is an update on the UUA Article II Study Commission Draft Feedback Sessions. Don’t miss these opportunities in November to give your feedback on their draft so far. There will be an online form for feedback available soon, but you can study the changes now. Every voice makes a difference, whether you see the results immediately or not.
Here is what they say in their recent update:
The Article II Study Commission is excited to share a full draft of Article II for feedback. The Study Commission’s outreach team will be hosting Zoom feedback sessions in the first half of November, along with gathering feedback through a forthcoming online form for individual comments.
The Study Commission will present its final draft to the Board in January for inclusion on the agenda for General Assembly 2023. It will then be the subject of mini-Assemblies before the initial vote at GA 2023. If it passes that delegate vote by a majority, it will require a 2/3 majority vote at GA 2024 to become the new Article II of the Bylaws.
This draft makes significant changes to Article II. We invite you to read it using one of the practices we have started following in our work:
- Read it the first time to observe how it makes you feel.
- Read a second time, observe what it makes you think.
- Finally read it a third time before thinking about any suggestions.
It will be ideal if you can hold suggestions until the online form is available so that they can be more easily gathered and read. But do feel free to direct questions to changemanager@uua.org
