44. Voting Requirements for Holders of Authentic Common Stocks/Shares
Buyers/holders/voters of common voting stocks must specify whether they wish
to be categorized under one of three categories:
a) an annual "Cost-free-voter" via e-ballot
b) "Paper Ballot Voter", registered as a voter using paper ballots
c) to be designated as "Non-voter" (no paper or eballot to be
provided by the All Party Sysytem Co. to non-voters.)
The Three Categories of Common Stock Shareholder Voters;
a) Cost-free-voter, b) Paper Ballot Voter and c) Non-voter
a) Authentic Voters; Cost-free-voter and b) Paper-ballot-voter
A authentic voter is one who votes for their own name or other names,
as consecutively ranked names and names as consecutively ranked names as back-ups,
using an cost-free eballot or a paper ballot (added costs)
and consecutive numerals beginning with the numeral "1" must be used.
Were any numerals or characters other than consecutive numerals beginning
with the numeral "1" is used, that vote is considered a vote to be declared
null, void and deemed democratically not legit.
a) Authentic Cost-free-voter = Voting via Email, Telephone or Facebook Messaging
(The marked eballots/votes are uploaded to the web site for the
verification purposes of the voter and all observers.)
b) Authentic Paper-ballot-voter = Voting on paper ballots only via postal service
(The marked paper/votes are uploaded to the web site for the
verification purposes of the voter and all observers.)
c) Non-Voter = Holder of Common Stock Does not Wish to Vote
(No marked eballots/votes are uploaded to the web site for the
verification purposes of the voter and all observers although non-voter
names may be listed on the site.)
Non-voters may hold common stock shares, but once a non-voter self-declares
and is identified by them and the APS Co.'s department of Investor Relations,
non-voters will not be contacted again after the one first time which
is at the time of the purchase of the share when the purchase agreement
is signed and the buyer had indicated whether they planned to be a non-voter (no voting)
or voter (voter equates to a #1 vote for their own name as "Investor BoD").
All Top Ranked Consecutively Ranked Voters, top to bottom, holders of "Common Stock Shareholder Voters"
The top holders of the common stocks shares who are self-categoriezed
as "authentic voters" in the description above will be contacted in consecutive
order, to complile the votes needed from them for electing the ten "Investor BoDs"
of the All Party System Co., USA Bureau.
Each top holder of common stocks, may elect their own name to the board
which is done by a nod through paper ballot, eballot, telephone, email, postal or other means.
A #1 Ranking May Be Used
Any vote for the common stock shareholder for their own name is considered
a #1 vote for their own name. Additional consecutively ranked names
may also be used but no such additional rankings have ever set precedents to
these matters as on 8/16/2015.
* * *
45. Proxy voting not permitted as of 8/16/2015.
Proxy voting as defined by the All Party System Co. is the
method of when another person is designated as the voter
in the stead of the person who actually owns the voting
common stock shares or vote by a person other than the
name that had been elected.
* * *
46. Elected BoDs must participate in the July 5th annual
teleconference call and/or sign the meeting's minutes
within the 60th day which follows the meeting or risk
being removed as BoD. This way, a majority of the
BoDs is guaranteed to approve the annual BoD meeting's
minutes.
When a majority of the board members is not attained
for approving the company's bylaws, minutes, elections and/or agenda
by signing the annual July 5th board meeting's minutes,
even after board members not in compliance have been
eliminated from the board, then the lowest ranked
Investor BoDs and then Worker BoDs will be eliminated one at
a time until a majority for approving the minutes is achieved.
* * *
47. First the lowest ranked Investor BoD, then the lowest ranked
Worker BoD, each are alternated and no/zero consecutively ranked BoDs may
be automatically elected in their stead. The board members
are continually eliminated in a balanced manner until
the majority required for signing the meeting's minutes
is achieved.
* * *
48. Worker and Investor Board of Directors' (BoDs) Priorities and Resignations:
One of the unique traits of the All Party System Co. is the voting system
which tries to have a 50/50 balance between workers and investors in the company
whose balance is decided by the executives' votes. The Worker and Investor
BoDs comibine to elect the five Regular Executives.
Worker BoDs
Worker BoD nominations begin on January 1st, elections start on
March 1st and end on July 5th of each year,
with the annual board meeting on July 5th being the date where all
elections are finalized. Should Directors need to be eliminated
in order to approve the July 5th meeting's minutes, then once the
meeting's minutes are approved, the election of back-up names can be resumed.
The new names are automatically elected one week (seven days)
after the previously eliminated name is removed, provided that these bylaws had
been approved by a simple majority of board members.
All wish list elected volunteers, all board members, employees and holders
of common stocks who are correctly registered may vote for the Worker BoDs.
Investor BoDs
Any holder of common shares/stocks may elect their own name to the
ten seats on the board known as the "Investor BoDs" at any time
of the year and the top ten names who own the top ten numbers
of voting shares known as common stocks/shares are the first
to be elected provided they vote for their own name.
Each consecutively common stock holder may vote for their own name until all
ten "Investor BoD" seats are filled.
Only the top share holders need to be contacted by the vote counter,
starting from top to bottom of list of shareholders, but all
shareholders are welcomed to vote for all Worker and Investor BoD nominees
and this voting takes place for free online because of savings on postage and
materials.
The All Party System Co., USA Bureau is set up so that the top ten share
holders are ranked with the prioritization based on total shares owned.
But each "Investor BoD" may only have one vote on the board, on condition
that they agree to elect their own name there and that they provide the
biographical info. that we request.
Then the eleventh top common stock/share holder isn't on the board once
all ten "Investor BoD" seats are elected, because all ten seats are taken.
The eleventh name will "spill over" into the subsidiary countries such as
the International Bureau, the USA Sub-station Bureaus and other countries'
bureaus.
RESIGNATIONS: Once the holder of common stock resigns from the BoD, they will
not ever be contacted unless they specifically ask to be reinstated or when their name
is elected in another office or capacity other than as a Investor BoD. Once they
resign, they must contact the central office to have their name re-instated to the BoD
as a holder of common stock, when they wish to resume their duties and have their
name be returned to the BoDs. They only receive the one seat on the Investor BoDs
based on the rankings of the numbers of total share units they own/hold
and only when they accept and agree to have their name elected, and they must meet
all the requirements within 60 days after annual board meetings; providing their correct
name and mailing address is correct, accept the election of their name and
they provided the biographical information.
* * *
49. ELIMINATION OF BODS IN NONCOMPLIANCE
50. The period of procedure for removing BoDs who do not meet the requirements
and who will be eliminated from the elected "Workers' BoDs" will continue
until a majority of the BoDs who remain have met the required
guidelines. The elimination of names continues between the dates
of March 1st, July 5th, September 5th and December 31st of each year,
which are known as the primary attrition dates.
When names are eliminated, no new names for Worker or Investor BoDs are
elected from the next consecutively ranked names on the
marked ballot totals until the annual meeting's minutes are approved
by a simple majority. Once the minutes are approved following the
July 5th annual meeting, the Worker BoDs who had already been ranked
as the original nominees may be re-elected as Worker BoDs and
new Investor BoDs who provide the required vote and share purchase
may be elected.
The biographical information must be provided by
all board members within the 60-day requirement in order to be elected
or re-elected.
* * *
112. Only founding Executives need not attend annual board meetings
or sign. That's due to the very special cases of the founders' needs
in particular founder Tiffany Briscoe, who is disabled and unable
sign.
When items are approved as a simple majority by the board memers
who attend the annual July 5th board meeting, then the votes by those
in attendence are considered to be 100% approval.
The when signatures on the meeting's minutes are sought
by those not in attanedence, the number needed to approve
the new items are derived from the number of board members in attendence
plus those who sign the meeting's minutes within the 30-day period.

bylaw item #187 and subject to a majority approval from the board:
Company Bylaws.
The elected CEO will be subject to a one-year probation
period and the allotment of shares is prorated by month to month
(i.e. 1000 shares upon being elected and 2000 shares a month payable
in full at end of year provided the CEO is not unelected by the
board of directors before first anniversary after being elected.
Should the CEO be unelected before the full year then the board of directors may vote on how many shares to pay the CEO beyond the original signing bonus of 1000 shares.
Once elected, the CEO must provide the biographical information to the
company office within 60 days.

(j) Miscellaneous business.
For Misc. business, Jim Doyle spoke about the "Money Show" and their
classes for "Investing in ETFs".
Buck Rogers noted the importance of linking people involved with
charities, NGOs, churches and orphanages. Some commentary of whether to
have separate committees or one big committee linking them all together.
Another issue mentioned was linking and transferring items between differing
organizations and the shipping, costs, and international import/export issues
which arrive with such activities.
James Ogle suggested a link to the International Parliament's home page for registration
of a "melting pot" of organizations which could be linked in the front and center of the
International Parliament's home page as a third row under the top navigation bar.
