      <p> The Forum has identified and discussed a number of
        improvements to be made to the current version of the Bylaws to
        improve clarity and allow the Forum to function more
        effectively. Most of these changes are described in the “<a

      <ol class=" fix-media-list-overlap">
        <li class="level1">
          <div class="li"> Clarified the use of the term “Member” so it
            is clear when we discuss about all Forum Members (which
            includes Associate Members and Interested Parties), and when
            we discuss about the “Voting Members”. Adding the word
            “Voting” in front of the word “Member” removes this
            ambiguity. Also, the term “Members” or “Forum Members” is
            now the union of “Voting Members”, “Associate Members” and
            “Interested Parties”.</div>

        <li class="level1">
          <div class="li"> Added the term “Voting Representative” which
