Hi,
I understand that you were doing a review of the by-laws when we
started mucking about. I think we are just about finished and though
they have not been council approved yet (hope to do it in Sydney), I
think they are rather stable at this point.
It would be great if you could take a look and let us know if
anything
we have there is inappropriate vis a vis legal requirements, or if
anything is missing. The sooner we know, the sooner we can deal with
any changes. Of course I understand that the real review will be
done
before the Board takes its vote, however, it would be helpful to know
if we really missed the mark anywhere.
The latest version can be found at:

As of tomorrow morning I epxect to remove the editing marks (italics
for recently added changes, line through for things that are to be
deleted).
You will note that we have not touched the PDP annex yet. That is
being worked on in the PPSC. Except for the voting thresholds which
are included in the changes, I think we should be ok as the PDP rules
do not affect getting the new council seated.
Please forgive the parallelism and extra work that it may entail, but
I am really trying to make sure everything gets done in time to seat
the new council in Seoul.
Thanks
and look forward to seeing you in Sydney.
