They are currently here http://wiki.makersmiths.org/display/BOARD/Draft+Proposed+New+Bylaws, but would be moved  We can announce this process at the October Members Meeting.

Relevance to our tax exempt status:  No Impact

Motion:  I motion that we move the proposed bylaws into the public space and initiate a 30 day window for written feedback.  The feedback will close at the Nov members meeting.  After the Nov members meeting the board will meet, finalize and present the final bylaws at the Dec member meeting with a Jan 1 st effective date.
