<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">I attached updated copies of the BRs, EVGL, and Bylaws in “show changes” mode, in both Word and pdf format. Please review. If there are no edits, we can finalize and post to the CABF website at the end of next week.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A note on timing. The changes to the BRs and EVGL all come from a single ballot, Ballot 217, which only became effective on Jan. 20, 2018 (a week ago). Under our Bylaws, updated BRs and EVGLs should have been circulated by last Wednesday,
so I am 3 days late – I apologize for any inconvenience. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our Bylaws do not specify any time limit on when updated copies of the Bylaws must be created and circulated, and these revised Bylaws include only the changes from Ballot 216, which became effective Dec. 21, 2017 – about five weeks ago.
Again, I apologize if anyone was inconvenienced by not receiving an updated copy of the Bylaws before today.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also attach a document “Record of Review Notices Since Ballot 190 (27 Jan 2018)” which indicates there have been no Exclusion Notices filed on Guidelines ballots since Ballot 190. Members were already aware of this, as anyone claiming
an Exclusion Notice must post it to the Public list (and none have been posted since Ballot 190), but we will maintain and update this new document and send it out in the future on the Public list after the Review Period for each Guidelines ballot expires.<o:p></o:p></p>
