THE COMMITTEE
The Committee on Rules is
one of two General Committees of USPS (the other is the Committee on
Nominations.) As such it reports to the membership in its entirety.
Its responsibilities include administration of the bylaws of all
parts of USPS -- From national to district and squadron plus
provisional squadrons and (on request) auxiliaries. That administration
extends to
writing the national bylaws and all amendments to them and the approval
of all bylaws of all subordinate levels. It is further responsible for
interpreting the national bylaws and passing on credentials of voters
at annual meetings.
In addition it is charged with the responsibilty of chartering new
squadrons during periods between governing Boards. Its chairman
or his appointee is the parliamentarian at all
national meetings and his counterparts serve the same role at
district and squadron levels.
The committee name is abbreviated either ComR or (less often) as ComRules; the latter being clearer
to those not in regular contact with it.
