President appointed a committee to review the organization by-laws for revision. Committee consist of a chairman, legal counsel, three members and the parliamentarian.

Questions:

Who is responsible for presenting the revised by-laws to the general body?

By-Laws states any changes or revision a 60 day notice should be given to the general body before voting what's the best method to notify the members of these changes?

In the order you asked...

 

1)  The chairman should pass them to the Secretary who should take care of the nuts and bolts of notification.   At the meeting when the amendments/revision is up for consideration, the Chairman makes the formal presentation. 

 

2)  Whatever is your usual way of notifying all members about meetings, elections, events, and anything else.  Just be sure that all members get a copy of the revision in time for the 60 day notice.

 

Do you really mean "revision", as in "General Revision"?  See p. 593.  Or just a (smallish) collection of specific amendments?  See p. 592.   It can make a difference...

FIrst, are you sure your president has the power to create new committees?  The power to appoint does not imply the power to establish new committees.

 

The committee is responsible for presenting the proposed changes to the general body.  The committee can't revise the bylaws, it can only recommend.

 

The best method to notify members of a meeting is in writing.
