Hold all these thoughts! The Bylaws revisions are *not* "done deals" . . . When we (the BRC) are done dissecting, revising, and coming up with what WE as a group think are the best versions of each section, the plan is that we'll open up the whole ball of wax to input and possible tweaking from the membership at large. We certainly don't want to craft a proposed set of bylaws that has no chance of passing! Now, we aren't trying to fool ourselves into believing that it is possible to construct a document that *every single person* in USGenWeb will embrace with enthusiasm and open arms. But our aim is to have the best, fairest, most equitable set of bylaws that we can - one that most people can feel comfortable with and that they *want* to adopt. Obviously, the job isn't done yet. Please don't dismiss the process before it is complete! So hold these thoughts - don't forget 'em - and be sure to have your say when the time comes to tweak!
