Re: [DSNC] Amendment to Bylaws following Amendment 16B

[Zachary Yaro]

Since this didn't get brought up for discussion at tonight's general meeting, I would like to slightly modify the version being brought for consideration at the next general meeting, just changing “at the time of the election” to the more precise “at the time polls close”.

For convenience, here are an updated link to where it got moved in the bylaws doc and a link to its voter guide doc.

We bypassed discussion of Amendment 16B and made passing it part of passing Amendments 23 and 24, so we didn't address issues merging it into the existing bylaws (e.g., it references a “third paragraph” of §4.6, which currently has 2 paragraphs; it references the “last sentence” of the section be moved to a section whose description better fits the last sentence of the 1st paragraph; and it defines things in §4.6.1 that are already defined elsewhere).  We also didn't discuss the fact that one of the bullet points removes democratic election of the Treasurer and Secretary, which feels like a very major aspect to gloss over.

In accordance with Article 9 of our bylaws, I am submitting this amendment (numbered 16G in the doc), which addresses those points, to seek adoption at an upcoming DSNC general meeting.

Thank you,

Zachary Yaro
