+450 staff organization. Is perhaps this the point where we consider if the
organisation has outgrown its volenteer base to the extent that its a

Hi SJ and Yair Rand,

Thanks for your feedback. I have written down your feedback and will bring
this up. You're right, we do want to have Bylaws that are as clear as
possible, but language is a difficult thing. At some point, we may have to
assume good faith.

Best,
