I checked the IPR Policy to find any cross-references to the Bylaws that
might be affected by the change of letters to numbers, and discovered
that in section 8.3 "Other Key Definitions", there is a definition under
letter "l" that defines the term "Working Group" which references 5.3.1
(a) and 5.3.1 (e) of the Bylaws.
I'm not sure how we can overcome this. Is it clear to everyone that (a)
corresponds to 1, (b) corresponds to 2 and so on?
Dimitris.

Some additional fixes have been made to the Bylaws document. Here is
the latest:
https://github.com/cabforum/documents/blob/26b2432038dd5445a4ae8b5783a95bbacd4a4b95/docs/Bylaws.md
The changes are:
1. Fixed formatting of "Member" in the definitions section.
2. Changed the list formatting throughout the doc to comply with the
quirky rules of markdown. Lists that used to be lettered are now
numbered and vice versa.
3. Addressed side-effects of moving membership criteria out of section
2.1 and into the WG Charters. Here is the redline:
https://github.com/cabforum/documents/compare/930d568..26b2432
* We still vote in categories at the Forum level, so those category
definitions are needed in the Bylaws. I added language that aligns
Forum membership categories with CWG membership categories.
* Associate Member and Interested Party membership still happens at
the Forum level. Added references to those membership types in section 2.1
This last change is significant, so I will appreciate everyone's
review and comments. I now have two endorsers, so if there are no
concerns with these changes we can begin the discussion period.
Thanks,
Wayne

Below is a proposed ballot for the Bylaws updates that we have
been discussing for some time.
As I mentioned on today's call, I have referenced the documents on
GitHub in the body of the ballot rather than attaching PDFs as was
done in the last major Bylaws ballot. I have used permalinks that
preserve the exact version in the ballot, even if changes are
later made to the branch. Please let me know if you have concerns
with this approach.
I'm looking for one more endorser so that I can assign a ballot
number and begin the review period.
I would also appreciate everyone's review of these changes - there
are a lot of changes and thus opportunities for mistakes.
