I have put together a first draught of the membership section of the proposed by-laws at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada/Membership
I've added a comment on the talk page and a reference.
It's important to get the structure legally correct, but I think we can come to a consensus here about what we want in spirit, and perhaps involve someone with legal skill to then make sure it gets translated into legalese.
It seems there is a provision to revise bylaws as well. I'm not sure how difficult that is, and it's best we get it right the first time, but at least there is an option available to revise it in the future.
Having a section of the by-laws that establishes how the by-laws may be amended is pretty standard. It should not be a problem once we have figured out some of the other clauses, notably how voting rights are exercised.
