"A committee shall be listed on the ballot if it submits to the current DSC, by 6:00 PM on Friday of the current DSC, the following: a list of committee officers, a contract or letter of agreement with a facility adequate to hold the DSC, and a statement that the committee agrees to abide by these rules. A committee may bid any site in the states of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, and all states both south and east of any of these."
To
"A committee shall be listed on the ballot if it submits to the current DSC, by 6:00 PM on Friday of the current DSC, the following: a list of committee officers, a contract or letter of agreement with a facility adequate to hold the DSC, and a statement that the committee agrees to abide by these rules. A committee may bid any site in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia."
Add to the current bylaws
Section 1. Paragraph 4. A DeepSouthCon committee may present such awards as it deems appropriate. The traditional awards given out by the DSC are the Rebel Award for fannish activity and the Phoenix Award for professional science fiction and fantasy activity. Should a DSC choose to award the Rebel and/or Phoenix, the following guidelines shall be followed:
a. The Rebel award is given to one or more science fiction fans who have, at some point, resided in the south (as defined in section 2, paragraph 2) or whose fannish activities have contributed to southern fandom in a positive way.
b. The Phoenix award is given to one or more science fiction or fantasy professionals who have, at some point, resided in the south; whose professional work reflects on the south in a positive way; or who have demonstrated friendship with Southern fandom through support of regional fan activities.
c. Either award may be given posthumously.
d. Rebel and Phoenix awards are considered lifetime achievement awards, therefore no individual shall be given the same award a second time. However, a past winner of either award may also win the other award, as long as they meet the criteria outlined in subparagraphs (a) and (b).
(As amended at the 28 March 2004 DSC business meeting.)
These proposals were both passed on to the DSC 43 business meeting. If approved at this business meeting, then these amendments to the DSC Bylaws will go into effect after DSC 43.
These are the DSC Bylaws, as last amended (at the 10 April 2005 meeting):
Section 1. Paragraph 1.

Section 1. Paragraph 4. A DeepSouthCon committee may present such awards as it deems appropriate. The traditional awards given out by the DSC are the Rebel Award for fannish activity and the Phoenix Award for professional science fiction and fantasy activity. Should a DSC choose to award the Rebel and/or Phoenix, the following guidelines shall be followed:
a. The Rebel award is given to one or more science fiction fans who have, at some point, resided in the south (as defined in section 2, paragraph 2) or whose fannish activities have contributed to southern fandom in a positive way.
b. The Phoenix award is given to one or more science fiction or fantasy professionals who have, at some point, resided in the south; whose professional work reflects on the south in a positive way; or who have demonstrated friendship with Southern fandom through support of regional fan activities.
c. Either award may be given posthumously.
d. Rebel and Phoenix awards are considered lifetime achievement awards, therefore no individual shall be given the same award a second time. However, a past winner of either award may also win the other award, as long as they meet the criteria outlined in subparagraphs (a) and (b).
Section 2. Paragraph 1. The voting membership of DSC shall choose the location and committee of the DSC to be held in the calendar year two years after the current DSC. Voting shall be by ballot cast at the current DSC. Counting of all votes shall be the responsibility of the DSC committee, using the preferential ballot system as it is used in site selection voting for the World Science Fiction Convention.
Section 2. Paragraph 2. A committee shall be listed on the ballot if it submits to the current DSC, by 6:00 PM on Friday of the current DSC, the following: a list of committee officers, a contract or letter of agreement with a facility adequate to hold the DSC, and a statement that the committee agrees to abide by these rules. A committee may bid any site in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
Section 3. Paragraph 1. Any proposal to amend this constitution shall require two-thirds vote of all the votes cast on the question at the DSC meeting held at two successive DSCs.
Section 3. Paragraph 2. DSC meetings shall be held at advertised times at each DSC. The current DSC committee shall provide the Presiding officer for each meeting. Meetings shall be conducted in accordance with Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised, and any Standing Rules the meeting shall adopt.
Section 3. Paragraph 3. The DSC constitution shall be published in the program book of each DSC. Any amendments eligible for ratification at the DSC shall also be published in the program book.

Excerpts from an e-mail received from Laura Haywood ...
From: Laura Haywood <lghaywoo@email.unc.edu> To: ssmith@traveller.com Date: Thu, 08 Oct 1998 14:16:24 -0400 Subject: ERROR in the NC Section on Southern Fandom [...] Hi. I found an error on the on-line version of the history of Southern Fandom, North Carolina section. The erroneous sentence reads, " a club at UNC-Chapel Hill that put on Stellarcon--which still seems to be going, although not in Chapel Hill anymore, see below--". The group that used to put on Stellarcon is the Science Fiction & Fantasy Federation (aka SF3), the student fan group at UNC-Greensboro, NOT Chapel Hill. UNC-Chapel Hill used to put on a different convention, called Chimeracon. UNC's student group was called Chimera, but it's now defunct after 1997's ill-fated "Chimerafest". Please see my Chimera archive at: http://www.unc.edu/~lghaywoo/chimeraarchive for more info on the past, present, and future of fandom in the Chapel Hill and Triangle area. (I was the Con Manager for Chimeracon VI.) While organized fandom may be dead at UNC-Chapel Hill, I'm happy to say that fandom in the area is in fact alive and well - I and three other old-time Chimeroids last year founded the Research Triangle Science Fiction Society, which has an active email list of over 70 people and meets twice monthly in the RTP area. http://www.sandbaggers.com/rtsfs/ PO Box 90821 Raleigh NC 27675 Laura Haywood, President (919) 933-7909 lghaywoo@email.unc.edu Some of us are also organizing a convention to be held in late September, 2000. Trinoc*coN will be a broad-based sf convention, with literary events, gaming, a video room, science track, and more. http://www.trinoc-con.org PO Box 10633 Raleigh NC 27605-0633 Sean Fannon, Con Manager, (919) 250-0344 seanpatfan@aol.com [...] Laura Haywood lghaywoo@email.unc.edu President, Research Triangle Science Fiction Society http://www.sandbaggers.com/rtsfs/

Excerpts from an e-mail received from Simon Macauley ...
From: "Simon Macauley" To: ssmith@smithuel.net Date: Sat, 14 Dec 2002 12:11:40 +0000 Subject: Re: Early Southern Fandom This e-mail will bear specific reference to your site at: http://www.smithuel.net/sfchb/hbp1.html This quote interested me: " ... (We wonder where are Carson Jacks, Ian Macauley, and Peter Ridley these days.)" I also see Ian Macauley's name splashed all over your site. I'm actually in a position to tell you where he is these days, as I see him every day. He's my father. Re: Career - he worked for the New York Times as a Senior Editor/Head of the Foreign, (and at times) Culture Desks. His tenure at NYT amounted to over 30 years. Nominated for a Pulitzer in '92. Re: Arthur C. Clarke - maintained a solid frendship, and now monthly contact via phone or email. Haven't seen him in ten years, as he lives in Sri Lanka, though in '91 he did invite us down to a book signing in London. Re: Family - divorced once, married now to his second wife of 24 years, my mother, an accomplished syndicated columnist/author/former writer for "As The World Turns". Re: Me - only child, interests in science fiction/fantasy, but mostly in women outside the realm of fantasy. 22 years old, college student, pre-med major. Former actor, Broadway, "One Life to Live", neo-classical composer via piano/electronic instrumentation. Re: His present status - at 67, lives in Las Vegas with us, his family. Retired, though he edited the collected science essays of Arthur C. Clarke in 1998. Best, Simon Macauley
Thank you very much, Simon!
