Yes...I have seen that proposed amendment, which is part of what brought me back here to get some input...I know there are many people here with experiences and ideas.
I think that proposed amendment was sent in late completely ON PURPOSE, I think they wanted to test the waters and see what the rank and file reaction would be...or...to get people considering it for a year, to grow the idea (and support for it)...the proposal sure got tons of publicity...easier than sending an e-mail, don't ya think?
The YSBA has members (high up) on the OBA Executive, so I find it very difficult to believe that they're not smart enough to hit a submission date that they've know about for a year...dumb like foxes maybe?
