FROM the editorWe’re rolling down to the hom e stretch, with a little over a

month to go before Costume-Con 21 and the Annual

Meeting. Just a reminder: You do not have to be a mem ber

of Costume-Con 21 to participate in the meeting.

We’ve published a lot of information so far on the

changes we’re planning to discuss during the meeting and

we’re not done yet. Your opinion m atters. This

newsletter is set to become a standard benefit of ICG

membership, with either a bi-monthly or quarterly

schedule. It’s just one of the substantial changes proposed

to change the way we operate. If you don’t plan to attend

the meeting on Monday, April 21st, we strongly encourage

you to send your proxy to your Board representative.

A word about the sample Membership Form, included

in this issue: There are prices listed for membership that

have NOT been authorized. This is a draft example of

what the form might look like if we approve it. The final

version will be placed on the ICG web site and will be sent

to all chapters if and when it has been adopted at the

Annual Meeting. Same goes for the M embership Card. In

other words, DON’T PANIC!

If you have any questions about the items published in

this newsletter, we encourage you to write or call us and

ask. You can reach us between 9am and 9pm ET.

We w elcome your questions, suggestions, comments,

articles, and artwork. We will try to include them in an

upcoming issue of The ICG N ewsletter. We can accept

articles in text, RTF, M$ Word or Corel WordPerfect

format by email, or hard copy if absolutely necessary.

Please send them by snail mail or email your comments to:

attachments in email - we’re sensitive to viruses!

Summary of Proposals Previously

published In Volume I, Issue 2, we printed the first five

of eight preliminary proposals, which have been under

discussion since July 2002. In Volume II, Issue 1, we

published the rem aining three prelim inary proposals.

All eight proposed changes, in a final format to be

provided by Pierre Pettinger, ICG Parliamentarian, will be

brought before the ICG A nnual Meeting this April. A

summary of these proposals is below, with comments in >>

brackets <<:

1: Am ending the dues renew al date

and

2. Adoption of a standard ICG Membership

Application

>> These motions create a standardized m embership form

and redefine the beginning and ending date of

memberships so that they are identical throughout the

Guild <<

3: Adoption of the ICG Membership Card

>> Adopts a membership card, possibly to be distributed

annually with a reminder that memberships are expiring.

This card may be used in conjunction with the ICG

Membership Application. <<

4: Creating the position of Membership

Coordinator

>> This motion establishes a Mem bership Coordinator,

which would be required if we pass 5c. However, if we pass

5a or 5b, this motion can still be passed. The MC would not

then, however, be directly in the loop of applications and

dues. <<

5: M odifying Standing Rule 5 (M embership

Processing)

>> This Motion, with three variations, redefines the

method by which memberships are received by the ICG. 5a

effectively puts the responsibility for collecting applications

and dues on the chapter treasurers. 5b puts the

responsibilities on the Corporation Treasurer.

5c is slightly different. Chapter treasurers collect

applications and monies, but a Membership Coordinator

receives them and is responsible for processing. All three

define specific dates for reports and the specific expiration

date of memberships.

At the meeting, we will probably try to get a consensus

of which of these options is preferred by using a Comm ittee

of the Whole. This will be a bit more efficient than a strict

meeting protocol. <<

6: Increasing domestic ICG Membership Rates and

setting International ICG Membership Rates to

cover The ICG Newsletter/ICG Annual

>> This motion raises the dues paid by members of the

ICG, to cover the additional cost of publications to be sent

to all members. There are two possible versions of this

motion, with different rates depending on the preference

for five issues of The ICG Newsletter and one Annual per

year or for six issues of The ICG Newsletter per year.

The difference between these two versions is obvious.

The motion also institutes an “international rate” for

mem bers who do not reside in the US. An alternative

would be to publish The ICG Newsletter on a quarterly

schedule, and to subsitute one of the four issues with an

Annual.

One more option which has not been written could

simply define non-US membership rates. <<

The ICG Newsletter March/April 2003 PAGE 4

Summary of Motions Previously publishedcontinued

7: Setting a Household Mem bership Rate for the

ICG

>> Allows individuals in the sam e household to vote

without receiving extra copies of publications. <<

8: Ceasing publication of Costumer’s Qu arterly

(CQ)

>> These m otions are two variations which functionally

replace the Quarterly with a newsletter.

Note that passage of either Motion 6 or Motion 8

would require a considerable number of bookkeeping

adjustments to the Standing Rules. We have several

options (to be done by the Board after the m eeting):

1. Change each reference of the Quarterly to Newsletter

2. Leave the Standing Rules regarding the Quarterly as

they are and add a reference "deactivating" them, then

add new Standing Rules defining the Newsletter

3. Adjust the relevant rules to allow, simply, the

production of publications in general and allow the

definitions of those publications to be defined solely by

motions at the meetings. <<

A reminder! Please note that none of the wording in these

proposals is final. Final motions will be made at the ICG

meeting in Chicago. Please be sure to visit the online

survey to express your opinions before the meeting. The

UR L for the survey can be found on page 1 of this

newsletter.

Masquerade Guidelines

Revision ProposalBy Andrew Trembley, GBACG

Over the summer, a small group of ICG members from

across the country formed an ad-hoc committee and

developed a draft to replace the current ICG Masquerade

Guidelines. The purpose of this proposal is threefold:

1. To focus on and emphasize fairness in competition

2. To reduce the possibility for conflicting

interpretations

3. To reduce the risk that the guidelines will be read

as 'rules'

We plan to introduce the guidelines at the general meeting,

and move to:

a. Appoint a guidelines committee;

b. Assign a 2-month period for collection of

comm ents by chapter representatives;

c. Submit the comments to the guidelines committee

for consideration in a final revision;

d. After revision subm it the final draft to the board

for distribution to the membership and further

comments (2-month period, again); and,

e. Bring the final guidelines draft to a vote before the

board.

Please take the time to visit www.bovil.com/icg and

review the committee's working documents.
