I move we adopt the following:
Amendments to the Bylaws may be proposed by any member of The GAGenWeb
Project. Proposed amendments must have five co-signers from within the
membership, in addition to the original sponsor. The state coordinator
will moderate a discussion of the proposal on the business mailing list. A
motion and second is required. A formal vote on the amendment requires a
2/3 majority of those voting to pass. If approved, the amendment is
effective immediately unless provisions are made otherwise.
