Mark, besides the SSN problem, the rules as written are way out of proportion to what is needed. We have some under 18 year old members in our chapter. Under this set of rules, should their parents not attend, there are written permission requirements, record keeping that must be done and we must dedicate 4 cleared members to forgo meeting participation to oversee the under 18 members. Oh yeah, and if one the minors gets so much as a paper cut during the time they are at the meeting, it has to be reported to national.

The policy right now, is badly written, unwieldy and mostly unworkable unless a chapter has a significant number of members. What is worse, is that this was sprung on us with no discussion or input and developed by people that seem to have no good grasp on reality or common sense. The first we heard of it was the 20th of this month. It needs to be pulled back and rewritten so that it can be a workable policy rather than this monstrosity.
