Questions on Bylaws

[luc]

They are quite a few things in the bylaws that i don't like at all. Mostly because of my experience with the VCA since 2000.
I would appreciate some honest answers:

1/ Why are the 4 National Officers elected by the Regions Presidents and not by a vote of the Members?

2/ Why is there no term limits for National Officers?

3/ Why do only the National Board has the power to amend the bylaws and not the members by a majority vote?

4/ Under Article 2, Section 4 (c) the Board has the right to hold non-public Executive Session and has the right to keep secret from the members what went on behind those closed doors meetings. Why such secrecy?

Thank you
