To be eligible to be nominated as a Guild officer, a member of the Guild National Board of Directors or of any Guild Council or a delegate to the National Convention, or to hold any such position, a member must be in good standing and have been "working in the trade" as defined herein. For purposes of this provision a member shall be considered to be "working in the trade" (i) during the initial 7 year period following the time the individual becomes a member of the Guild; and (ii) at any time after this initial 7 year only if the individual has worked at least a total of 30 days under a Guild collective bargaining agreement during the most recent 7 year period. The National Board shall develop and implement a method, based on the Guild's minimum scales, for converting reported Guild earnings to "days of employment." Any member who would not be considered to be working in the trade under that conversion formula may appeal to the Eligibility Appeals Committee which may review any relevant information to determine whether the member has in fact worked at the trade at least 30 days within the 7 year period and thus meets the requirement stated in this provision. The decision of the Eligibility Appeals Committee shall be final. Nothing herein shall affect any other right of membership of any member who is not working in the trade, including such member's right to vote, to participate in any meetings of the Guild, or to be a member of any Guild Committee, including any Negotiating Committee.ement.
