From the discussion I can get a feel for what might be the issue that
is being discussed. Over the last 12 years I've been on the Board of
4 different non-profits. I've written the By-laws (what you guys are
calling the Constitution) for one non-profit.
The only time the By-laws really come into play is when someone thinks
that the organization is not behaving properly. I was in one
non-profit where there were two factions and we really needed the
By-laws to keep everyone playing properly.
In another non-profit, the By-laws stipulate how long an officer may
hold an office. We've ignored this part of the By-laws because there
is no one stepping up to take over the office. If we followed the
By-laws all of the officers would be termed out and with no one
stepping up to take over, the organization would basically have no
Board. If someone does step forward to complain, we'll volunteer them
for an office. :-)

With so much experience - maybe we should nominate Tim to the committee? !!
On a more serious note, I wonder how many people on this list do not
subscribe to Quanta - if so, are they willing to share their reasons why?
The same question probably should be asked about QL Today subscription....
