[These three we can do in one shot, the changes are minor. --Nils]
ARTICLE SEVEN - BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mostly OK, but need to clarify that the BOD should consist of 8-12 members, four of which shall be the officers. - Simply change the first sentence to read as follows: The business of this organization shall be managed by a Board of Directors consisting of eight to 12 members, four of which shall be the officers of this organization. ARTICLE EIGHT - OFFICERS Need to move the names of officers into an appendix so it can be changed without a membership vote. The rest is fine. - Remove the names of the officers - Add an appendix which contains the names of the current officers and their positions. This appendix shall also state: This section shall be modified to contain the names of the current officers of the organization when necessary, and shall not require a vote beyond the approval of the resolution appointing the officers. ARTICLE TWELVE - AMENDMENTS This is fine, but need to add that amendments to the appendices only require a 2/3 BOD approval, or something like that (i.e. if the BOD membership changes or the officer positions change, a vote should not even be needed to modify the appropriate appendix- this needs to be stated somehow.) - Add text to allow easy modification of appendices Appendices containing organizational information shall not require a vote of the membership for modification. They may be modified by a 2/3 vote of the Board of Directors, unless otherwise stated therein. I think that this is all that needs changing. I'll put out a final text with _all_ bylaws modifications the week after next, and then if noone has any more objections/comments, then we'll get it voted on. Thanks to everyone who has been helping with the bylaws! Nils. -- Nils Lohner Software in the Public Interest, Inc.
