National Rifle Association of America et al<\/em> on October 4th. Having read both proposals, neither propose reforms intended to keep the rank and file NRA member informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/iapps.courts.state.ny.us\/nyscef\/ViewDocument?docIndex=xGO2tMKc0ajFEpWS8wusKg==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Item 9 in the NYAG&#8217;s proposed final judgment<\/a><\/strong> says the NRA will set up a secure online portal that will &#8220;enable digital dissemination of Board, committee, and corporate documents to Board members, and shall enable convenient encrypted communications with Board members.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/iapps.courts.state.ny.us\/nyscef\/ViewDocument?docIndex=4DqIsXF39SWaph8c9wzFWg==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NRA&#8217;s proposal for a final judgment<\/a><\/strong> states, &#8220;The Secretary\u2019s Office shall use best efforts to implement, by January 2025, a secure portal that will enable digital dissemination of Board, committee, and corporate documents to Board members, and shall enable convenient encrypted communication with Board members.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowhere in either document is any mention of providing information on a timely basis to the members of the NRA. Whether this is an oversight or intentional, I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the very least, here is what I would propose and what should be included in the final judgment. If you have other items that you would suggest be publicly available, make note of it in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Current bylaws must be published on the NRA website and available to all members. Do you know hard it is to get an up-to-date copy of the bylaws otherwise?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A minimum 5 years worth of Form 990 and CHAR500 posted on the NRA\u2019s public website. Many other non-profits make these available on their websites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Board meeting agenda and minutes posted on the public website including for past meetings of the board. If small towns can do it, so can the NRA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If those in charge are so worried about the gun prohibitionists or reporters from <em>The Trace<\/em> having access to this information, make it so it can be accessed only by NRA members. This is what they do with regard to candidate ratings by the NRA-PVF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The time for keeping the membership in the dark is over. If the Board and the executives are serious about a NRA 2.0, this is one change they could easily make.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both the NRA and the New York Attorney General&#8217;s Office submitted their proposed terms for the final judgment in&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[6953,26,6954,5770],"class_list":["post-34786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-final-judgment-proposals","tag-nra","tag-rank-and-file-members","tag-state-of-new-york-v-nra-et-all"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34786"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34786\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34789,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34786\/revisions\/34789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
