Can what appears to be a typographical error in the By-Laws be corrected with minimal voting?

It's amazing what happens when you really read this stuff.......

In the ByLaws .....

https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vTNqpKuSAtIPG_2kAe-UJ2U5PYS-613PDw9IUe-wimKF6uCvRbkpXxQuX9pb1Qk3H0tj3xIbbRBHSUN/pub

Article V. Officers, Section 5.4,  Duties of the Corresponding Secretary

The first sentence of the first paragraph reads:

"The Corresponding Secretary shall give or cause to be given notice of all meetings of the Board and members and shall perform such other duties as the Board may prescribe."

The first sentence of the third paragraph also reads:

"The Corresponding Secretary shall give or cause to be given notice of all meetings of the Board and members and shall perform such other duties as the Board may prescribe."

This looks like a cut-and-paste error, as in cutting and pasting where it shouldn't be.  How can this be fixed?  Do we need to write a new section in the By-Laws for dealing with this kind of thing?

Article III, General Provisions, Section 3 Amendments, describes the procedure for amending the ByLaws, but I wouldn't consider this a change in the meaning at all. More like correcting a mis-spelled word.

Advice?  Opinions?

(Speaking with my emeritus hat on)

I just went and researched this, and yes, it technically requires a vote because the corporate body must be in agreement that the edits maintain the intent of the bylaws. 

However, this can be done via the board amendment path as opposed to a vote of the entire membership.

Kevin,

Thanks for looking into that.  Hmmmm, a simple Board vote.  Sounds like a good vote activity for our new President?  I'm sure you can pass on some pointers.  BUT we don't need to do it now -- the cut-and-paste typo can wait a few weeks.
