The agenda for the November 2010 AMC meeting just came out earlier tonight. One of the items on it is rather fascinating: Item B4. (B4a is the bylaws amendment proposal, B4b is the enabling ASIE in case the amendment passes.)
My initial reading of the language appears to jibe with the provided explanation that the National Hearings Committee would be dissolved. Instead, any hearings would be conducted on the more local level at a Regional Hearings Committee, convened on recommendation by the RVC -- the AMC would not be the body appointing the hearings committee, nor would it comprise, by default, former AMC members. An appeals process (appealing to AMC) would be put in place.
Definitely need to take some more time to examine this, but my initial reaction to this proposal is positive. I would also need to see what happens in the theoretical circumstance that both this and the bylaws amendment petition adding a subsequent section to this article of the bylaws (Mel's petition) both pass.
