			Following the rules of the SIG constitution, we assembled a group of members in good standing to amend the constitution. The amendment was prompted by retirement of Kevin Cohen, one of the founding members and the first Chair, and recently Secretary of the SIG. We realized we had no provisions for an emergency like a sudden departure of the officers. We have established a vice-chair position and a procedure for emergency elections. The amendment was ratifies by the members and approved by ACL.
