<div>
<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">Issues

<div>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="level1" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">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”.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

<div>
<ol start="2" type="1">
<li class="level1" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">Added the term “Voting Representative” which is designated by each Member. Only votes submitted by Voting Representatives will be considered.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

</div>
<div>
<ol start="4" type="1">
<li class="level1" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">Removed references for Webmaster in the definition of “Public Web Site” since it is repeated in section 5.2.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
</div>
<div>
<ol start="5" type="1">
<li class="level1" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">Added the Photography Policy in Exhibit D.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
