Gary Novosielski Posted January 29, 2015 at 04:26 PM Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 at 04:26 PM The closest thing is a "revision" which is a wholesale change to the bylaws, opening them up to all amendments, and essentially approving a replacement set of bylaws to replace the old (even if some parts stay the same). Individual amendments would be considered individually, not in a block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted January 29, 2015 at 05:11 PM Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 at 05:11 PM Individual amendments would be considered individually, not in a block. If the individual amendments are such that adopting only some of them would render parts of the bylaws absurd, I can see how they might want to be considered in toto. This would not necessarily require notice of a revision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The requirements for this depend on how closely related the changes are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
