Our organization is about to adopt our proposed Chapter Bylaws.  All members have received a copy.  Does it take a 2/3 vote af all the members to adopt our bylaws with pervious notice, or a majority of all the members with pervious notice?

Are these bylaws the initial set establishing your chapter or are they amending previously adopted bylaws?

 

The adoption of the bylaws through which a society is brought into being requires only a majority vote. (RONR 11th ed., p. 559, ll. 23-24)

 

If the bylaws contain no provision for their amendment, they can be amended by a two-thirds vote if previous notice (in the sense defined on p. 121) has been given, or they can be amended by the vote of a majority of the entire membership. (p. 581, ll. 3-7)
