<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" 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>
<li>
<div> 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>
<div> Added the term “Voting Representative” which
is designated by each Member. Only votes submitted by Voting
Representatives will be considered.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div> Replaced “Forum wiki” with the properly
defined term “Member Web Site”.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div> Removed references for Webmaster in the
definition of “Public Web Site” since it is repeated in
section 5.2.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div> Added the Photography Policy in Exhibit D.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div> Clarify 4.1 (2) that Forum Members nominate
representatives </div>
</li>
<li>
<div> Allow Informative Changes to Guidelines</div>
</li>
<li>
<div> In 5.3.1 require that a Certificate Issuer is
trusted in the “latest” software produced by a Certificate
Consumer</div>
</li>
<li>
<div> 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>
</li>
</ol>
