Hi, Joe,
Sounds good. But:

I believe the bylaws should be changed to incorporate the following:
- assign responsibility for the production of an annual report to
the the AMSAT President
The President will delegate as seen fit. What's important is that the job gets done well.
- specify a list of topics which must be addressed in the annual
report
This is an ever changing list depending on fundraising, which is a common objective of an annual report. Some judgement applies.
- require no more than a 3 month interval between the close of the
calendar year and the publication of the annual report
The Annual Report should contain information from the audited financial statement of the corporation. Normally, this isn't ready for at least six months after the close of the fiscal year.
- specify that publication must consist of mailing a copy to each
member or posting a copy on the AMSAT website
Printing and mailing costs several thousands of dollars. Suggest posting on the web site, as is done now, and putting the rest into projects.
Seems like the crew is doing reasonably well, given all requirements.
