Today is the last day for proposals to go out to be voted on at the first HYH in
December. They do not need to be in their final form until Dec 4 (a week before
the HYH meeting). I had been planning to hold off on several things, but with
the proposal to throw out a lot of the current bylaws, I am going to go through
the points that I think need improvement and see where the dicussion takes us
over the next couple of weeks before the proposal must be finalized. I am going
to do multiple small proposals instead of one big one.

Currently the bylaws say that an explicit "abstain" vote counts as a 'none of
the above' in that if a candidate gets fewer votes than "abstain" the position
is left blank.

I propose that we change the wording from "abstain" to "none-of-the-above" to
reduce confusion
