        <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

            <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>
