Taking into consideration all feedback received, WAI will be voting on these WAI Draft Bylaws on Sunday December 8th, during our WAI meeting at 8:30 AM PT. Here is the summary of the changes from our current WAI bylaws. At that meeting, we will also vote on a Standing Rule of Order motion defining Substantial Unanimity, to match the definition approved at the 2023 World Service Business Conference.
EAI Bylaws Motion - Election Timing Change
The EAI Chair, with the Bylaws Committee, presents a motion to change the timing of the Executive Board Elections, and therefore the Committee Chair appointments, from January/February to July/September. You can read the proposed Motion here.
If you'd like to learn more, please attend one of the discussion calls scheduled.
