<div class="level2">
<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 href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EtrIy3F5cPge0_M-C8J6fe72KcVI8H5Q_2S6S31ynU0" class="urlextern" title="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EtrIy3F5cPge0_M-C8J6fe72KcVI8H5Q_2S6S31ynU0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Issues
 with Bylaws to be addressed</a>” document. </p>
<p>Here is a list of major changes: </p>
<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><li class="level1">
<div class="li">Added the term “Voting Representative” which is designated by each Member. Only votes submitted by Voting Representatives will be considered.</div>
</li><li class="level1">
<div class="li">Replaced “Forum wiki” with the properly defined term “Member Web Site”.</div>
</li><li class="level1">
<div class="li">Removed references for Webmaster in the definition of “Public Web Site” since it is repeated in section 5.2.</div>
</li><li class="level1">
<div class="li">Added the Photography Policy in Exhibit D.</div>
</li><li class="level1">
<div class="li">Clarify 4.1 (2) that Forum Members nominate representatives </div>
</li><li class="level1">
<div class="li">Allow Informative Changes to Guidelines</div>
</li><li class="level1">
<div class="li">In 5.3.1 require that a Certificate Issuer is trusted in the “latest” software produced by a Certificate Consumer</div>

<div class="li">In 4.1 the Chair is eligible to be elected as Chair after having vacated the position as Chair for at least one (1) term, instead of two (2) years.</div>
