For your consideration: Proposed bylaws changes to improve our membership experience

Thanks @iqbalabd and Anna for your feedback, it is much appreciated.

The text as presented is the result of discussion amongst the Board of Directors, which we carefully considered, and voted in favour of.

It is theoretically possible that the Board could pass a new version of the text, but it is extremely unlikely that we could have a meaningful discussion amongst the board about the goals of a new amendment, have any needed discussion with counsel, pass the amendment, provide enough time for community discussion on a new version of the amendment, and still have that be voted on during the regular Board of Directors election.

Given the effort involved on the part of our staff to run a vote of the membership on top of all their other duties, we try to only have one vote per year whenever possible.

With all that in mind, we will have to ask you to vote on the amendment as it is currently written.

I will note down your feedback, and I will try to make sure that this gets fed back into future bylaws reviews.
