No major changes were made (only wording changes for clarity)

During the discussion around new players and a rotating draft, Joe Seme made a motion that the order of the draft be:

The 6th place team would pick first, followed in order by the 5th, 4th,3rd 2nd, 1st, 1st, 2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th,etc. The vote ended 4 to 4, but motion was approved with Ken Denne casting the tie-breaking vote.

The committee proposed an amendment to Article I Section IV for the reorganization of the Board of Directors which was rejected 5 votes against and 2 in favor. This action nullified most of the other proposals and amendments presented by this committee. 

Phil Rose is currently revising the WSSA web site to reflect the approved changes. Hopefully he will have these completed by the next meeting.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
