Bruce:  The proposed changes to the bylaws are exactly what they mean: 
p- r -o- p- o -s -e- d.  They will be presented to the membership that  
evening for the membership's consideration.  They will then vote  on whether or not 
the proposals will be accepted for review by  the membership and printed in 
the CASCADE.   After the proposals have been printed in the CASCADE  for 30 
days and made available for everyone to see and evaluate will  they then be voted 
on by the membership. The actual voting date  depends on the publication of 
the CASCADE and the 30  days that the membership needs to review the proposals.
 
Please see material below:
