A reminder about two features of our by-laws:
- Twenty Seconds of Silence - Any member of the SCC may call for twenty seconds of silence. The member does not need to be recognized by the session chair to make the call. The call does not need a second. Once the call is made the session chair will implement it.
- Points of Discrimination - Any member of the SCC may rise to a point of sexism, racism, ageism, or any other point of discrimination. The member may then have 30 seconds to explain why a statement or action was a point of discrimination and then the person accused of discrimination may take up to 30 seconds to refute, explain, or apologize for the point of discrimination.
