It is hereby moved that USATT Bylaws be amended by the addition of Article
VIII, Section 16, Subsection N, to read as follows:

deadlines pertaining to the 2006 election of Directors are hereby set aside;
   2. Even though the schedule of the 2006 election of officers is not in time
compliance with previously adopted USATT Bylaws and Standing Rules, the
election shall be fully valid, and may not be challenged on the grounds of
timeliness;
   3. The Nominating/Elections Committee is directed to proceed with all
possible expedition;
   4. Notwithstanding the provisions in Subsection K of this section, the
number of signatures or emails necessary to include a candidate not selected
by the Nominating and Elections Committee or the Board shall be reduced from
150 to 100 for the 2006 election of Directors.  
   5.  Notwithstanding the provisions in Subsection K of this section, the
Nominating and Elections Committee will report the list of names of those who
have qualified via petition or email for inclusion on the ballot of the 2006
election of Directors no later than October 12, 2006.
   6. This Subsection N shall automatically be repealed on January 1, 2007.
   In addition, Article VIII, Section 16, Subsection K shall be amended to
read as follows:
   K.  Candidates not selected by the Nominating and Elections Committee shall
be included on the ballot if petitions signed by at least 150 adult members
are submitted in accordance with the Standing Rules, if emails from at least
150 adult members are sent to the Chair of the Nominating and Elections
Committee, or if any combination of petition signatures and emails of 150
adult members are submitted. Petitions must be submitted on approved forms to
the Nominating Chairman not later than a date specified in the Standing
