Thanks. It is, in general, admirably clear, and I think with a bit of
work it will be a jolly good thing.
My comments in detail:
Art III s4
The mebers' meeting requisition should be 10% of the _Contributing_
members.
Is the part "... shall constitute presence in person at a meeting"
really effective in US law ?
Art III s8
This is very confusing. Is it the intent to abolish quorum
requirement for meetings of the members ?
Art IV s3
This seems to define annually-relected Directors, biannually-reelected
ones, and triannually-reelected ones. The wording has perhaps been
borrowed from a transitional arrangement ? I think this needs to be
fixed.
Art IV s5
There should be a power for Contributing members to remove a Director.
Art IV s8
Why the long list of communications methods here (and in IV.11) but
not in Art III s4 ?
Art XI s1
Amending the bylaws should require the consent of the Contributing
membership, not of the Baord.
Ian.
