23 David urney has brought a question regarding the BMBG Bylaws for discussion. Below are the points raised. here appears to be some confusion around the interpretation of three paragraphs in the BMBG Bylaws regarding quorum and voting. Current Bylaws read: A quorum is established when a simple majority of the Members of the Board of Governors are present at a meeting. Except as specifically provided in these Bylaws or in "Robert's Rules of Order," all motions must be approved by a majority of the members present at a meeting. Upon due consideration and a majority vote of the BMBG members present at the meeting, the Chair shall request that the Bylaws Subcommittee consider the recommended change and report back to the BMBG at the next scheduled Annual Board of Governors Business Meeting. Bylaw changes shall only be voted on at the Annual Board of Governors Business Meeting. Bylaw changes must receive a two thirds vote of the quorum present. David s points out that the wording related to the two-thirds issue can be confusing, especially to a newer BMBG member as to what constitutes a quorum. He suggests a very simple change to better clarify the intent of the Bylaws related to determination of a quorum. Bylaw changes shall only be voted on at the Annual Board of Governors Business Meeting. Bylaw changes must receive a two-thirds vote of the quorum of the BMBG members present at the meeting. Additionally, in the first paragraph, a similar improvement in wording would be: A quorum is established when a simple majority of the Members of the Board of Governors are present at a meeting. Except as specifically provided in these Bylaws or in "Robert's Rules of Order," all motions must be approved by a majority of the BMBG members present at a meeting. he Bylaws Committee believes that these changes are for clarification purposes and do not substantially modify the existing Bylaws. However, any wording changes to the BMBG Bylaws must be brought to a vote of the full BMBG. It is our recommendation that we have a discussion of this at the

24 BMBG meeting in San Francisco and ask for a vote of the BMBG at the BMBG annual meeting in January.
