the working group for consultation.
-
By-Laws-We completed the review of the by-laws. Here are the changes to
the second half:
-
Change ‘in person’ to ‘present’. Define what ‘presen’ means-can be
virtual vis Hangouts, Skype, ect.

Article 26-’registered letter’ for notification to be changed to some
digital format, perhaps on Meta Wiki.

Wiki.
