any record containing multiple sightings into two or more records if it
appears that this will facilitate voting. The Committee may also, by the
vote of a simple majority, split any record containing multiple sightings
into two or more records. This action, whether instigated by the Secretary
or the Committee, should take place before the end of the first round.

Replace section (III.H.1.) of the

(5) members of the Committee or by the Secretary."
[section III.H.1 presently
reads: "At the annual UOS meeting a meeting of the records
committee will be held. The purpose of this meeting shall be to conduct
any elections and such other business as may be brought before the
Committee. The Secretary must give prior notice of the annual meeting to
all members."]
