Just to clarify, I'm absolutely behind Don's approach of updating the
bylaws to match how the organization is currently running! I believe
these seven questions aren't quite in line with how we're operating or
are a change that I'm missing the background behind making.

Some questions (and moving this to the public list since it doesn't
need to be private):
- The difference in definition of Sustaining Member and Community
Member seems to be in Exhibit A (the dues schedule) though the
qualification text seems identical in Section 3.1(b). This document
structure seems awkward and confusing if you're not already familiar
with how the Foundation has operated.
- In 3.1(c), why are we removing, "Each member shall have the right
to vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the members of the
corporation"?
- In 4.9 why are we removing the ability for action by written
ballot on regular meetings and keeping it only for annual and
special meetings?
- 5.2(b) says that, "The Community Members shall elect the number
of directors (“Community Directors”. Given 3.1(b), wouldn't that
mean that Sustaining Members are not eligible to vote for Community
Directors?
- 5.15(b) has a comment asking if removal of a director by a 75%
vote of the other directors should be limited to community
directors. I do not believe that it should be limited.
- 5.15(c) used to provide a means for the Membership to remove any
director. This has been changed to limit the Membership to only be
able to remove community directors. As with my previous comment, I
think that any extremely unlikely removal situation should be
possible for all directors. Whether it is a person or a company, if
75% of the board votes to remove them or the Membership does, that
ultimately places the Membership in control of the Foundation as I
believe it should be.
- I don't think that 7.4(a) correctly represents the current makeup
of the Executive Committee.
Thanks,

Hey John,
Thanks for the reminder!
Is there any reason why we need to discuss these changes in private?

Subject: Bylaws v1.5 - Action Required
Hi All,
Please review the attached marked and clean copies of the first
amended and restated OIDF bylaws.
This is what we are calling v1.5 that will bring the bylaws
officially up-to-date as of all changes discussed prior to 5/08.
We want to call for a vote to approve v1.5 asap, so please send me
any questions, concerns, suggestions by COB Monday 8/10.
In the 4Q09, we will begin a full review to see what changes are
needed post 5/08 and ensure that they are incorporated and
approved for v2.0
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
