Putting by-laws into the necessary language is not that difficult. Getting people to express themselves on what they want in the by-laws is more difficult. Last summer when Jeffery and I were trying to hammer something together the silence from others was deafening.

This should suggest by-laws are not important as a social construct for WMCA. (It doesn't matter what they are - they won't be binding on the group.)
Given that, use the boilerplate as modified by WMF legal counsel (who, btw, are quite willing to offer legal guidance or referral.)
