At the July FA-EAl meeting, the EAI Board introduced a motion to change the requirement of Individual Members having a voice and a vote at FA-EAI Body Meetings from ninety (90) days to two (2) years of continuous abstinence.

The motion will be brought to a vote at the September 8th FA-EAI Body meeting. Discussion of the motion will occur in August with 2 videoconference discussion calls (August 24 and 25th, see below). We will also have a quick overview of the voting requirements, which will require pre-registration.
