Bylaws

[Guest Sarah]

Large organization with constitution has four departments each with bylaws. One of these departments divides for functional reasons-too unwieldly to govern as it had grown exponentially but this department still has some functionality that must be under one umbrella. Two departments emerge with bylaws. In reality they perhaps either need one set of bylaws with addendums or perhaps these two need a constitution with separate bylaws?

any thoughts?

further in the two new departments there needs to be a clause describing porportional voting such that one is still much larger and by number would have more votes. Again, these two have reason to have some joint rules - voting for one. Although 80% of the work is done as independent departments they can not be completely severed.

thanks for your thoughts on either

The organization can decide whatever rules it wants.
