As far as I can tell the following items needed to be addressed:
(Please have on hand both editions 11 and 12)

(1)

Edition 11 at page 182, under
"§14. Postpone to a Certain Time (or Definitely)" SDC #5
Offending Text: "...is limited in that is must not go..."
Offending Word: "is"
Fix: Change word "is" to "it"

Edition 12 at page 172, 14:4(5) SDC #5
Fixed?: YES

(2)

Edition 11 at page 320, under
"§37. Reconsider" SDC #5, last sentence

Offending Word: "as"
Fix: Change word "as" to "at"

Edition 12 at page 303, 37:9(5) SDC #5, last sentence
Fixed?: YES

(3)

Edition 11 at page 387, under
"§43. Rules Governing Debate" page 387 line 21
Offending Text: "...and the negative votes must called for..."
Offending Word: "be"
Fix: Insert word "be" between words "must" and "called"

Fixed?: YES

(4)

Edition 11 at page 590, under
"§56. Content and Composition of Bylaws" Principles #4, last sentence
Offending Text: "Thus, where Article IV, Section I of the Sample..."
Offending Text: "Section I"
Fix: Delete word "I" and insert word "1"

Edition 12 at page 558, 56:68(4), last sentence
Fixed?: YES (Kudos to Mr. Gerber for having found this one.)

OK guys, nice job so far, HOWEVER,

(5)

Edition 11 at page 488, under
"§49. Boards" 5th bullet, first sentence
Offending Text: "...a vote can be taken without a motion's having been introduced..."
Offending Word: "motion's"
Fix: Delete word "motion's" and insert word "motion"

Edition 12 at page 465, 49:21(5) first sentence
Fixed?: NO

(6)

Edition 11 at page 603, under
"§58. Convention of Delegates" #3
Offending Text: "3) through being an incumbent elective officer..."
Offending Word: "elective"

Fixed?: NO

So, what happened? Why did these last two fall through the cracks?

At this juncture I will leave this issue at the discretion of this wider community to decide for themselves whether the possessive case "motion's" is proper English grammar and whether "elective" is the same thing as "elected."  

But please keep reading the 12th edition. (I hope there aren't any more errors that we haven't found, but if there are I hope that you, or some other helpful members, find them.)

I do not find either of those to be errors.
