This is absolutely correct. To clarify, however, the bylaws, or
incorporation rules, are not being altered. We are altering the
"Statement of Purpose" which is needed by Consumer Affairs in Victoria
to give them information about what we are about. When I submitted the
rules and SoP to them, they indicated that the original SoP was too
short and not adequate, so I withdrew the application and brought it
back for further consideration. There have been some delays since then,
but I hope, as Public Officer, that I can get it back to Consumer
Affairs in the very near future. Hopefully we can ask ChapComm after a
meeting of the Committee this coming Sunday. 

Brian.
