In any case, the bylaws are being amended, right?  Has the new wording
been worked out?  Is the part about "Trustees shall be staggered, so
that the terms of fewer than one-half of the Trustees expire in each
year", which is impossible to implement in the first place (you can't
have two-year terms and have *fewer* than one-half of Trustees elected
each year), going to be modified and/or eliminated?  Is the community
going to get to see the new bylaws before they're voted on?
