3 2 P a g e Introduction and Background Information When the PC/NCDP Bylaws Committee first convened Nov. 06, 2017, we had all thoroughly combed through the existing Caucus Bylaws. And with the concerns from the prior state Caucus meeting in mind, as well as our own observations and ideas, the committee identified items which needed correcting, changing, removing, or clarifying. At that first meeting we systematically reviewed all items that had been brought forward to the committee, and we voted on ranking each of these amendment items, based on how critical each was deemed by the committee to be for the healthy functioning of the Caucus. This resulted in a prioritized list of 41 potential amendments, 13 of which the committee identified as being most urgently needed. The result of that analysis is represented here, as the first set of 13 Priority 1 draft amendments contained in this report. We divided the priority 1 amendments amongst ourselves for drafting to present at this, the March 3, 2018 General Membership meeting. Over the course of 4 more meetings from Dec. 2, 2017 through Jan. 22, 2018, we perfected the wording of these amendments to prevent any unintended consequences and to ensure they fully accomplish their objectives. There remains a significant amount of work yet to be done on the Caucus Bylaws, but we feel these first 13 top priority amendments make critical improvements to the existing Bylaws and hence, as the Bylaws Committee, we bring these forth for consideration by the General Membership of the PC/NCDP. Thank you The Bylaws Committee
4 3 P a g e Amendment 1: Clarify 2/3 Vote Required to Amend Bylaws Purpose: Clarify what type of two-thirds vote is needed to amend the bylaws to make it clear two thirds of what caucus body is required to amend the bylaws, and under what circumstances Article VIII Amendments Bylaws may be adopted or amended by a two-thirds vote of the Caucus general membership, present and voting at a meeting where quorum is met, provided that thirty (30) days written notice of any proposed bylaws or amendment has been given to all members of the Caucus. 5 6

Why Needed: We need to be clear that our Chapters are officially recognized by the state. We need to be consistent in our terminology.
