Rewriting our Bylaws

Okay, gang.  We've made some changes to our proposed bylaws.  Check them
out at

  https://github.com/DavisMakerspace/bylaws/blob/master/bylaws.txt

Here's the idea behind the intended method of corporation operations:

1) We have a board of directors.  The board's only real jobs are to
ensure that meetings are held and to ensure that there are at least
NUMBER-OF-BOARD-MEMBERS people voting.

2) All decisions are presented to the VOTING BLOCK for a vote.  The
voting block is defined as any director, officer, of public person that
has attended 2 of the last 3 public meetings.  Anyone can participate in
the voting process (as long as they've shown they're invested in the
corporation).

3) To pass, a vote needs to be confirmed by all but one member of the
voting block that choose to participate in the vote.

And that's pretty much it!  All votes are everyone (no special
board-only powers), and all votes are consensus based.

There are other little details, and I've hidden a special easter egg
granting *me* unlimited power.  See if you can find it.

We'll be discussing this Monday, so be sure to show up!  This is very
likely the last (and final) hurdle to our approval for 501(c)(3) tax
exemption.
