After reading this proposal, it can be avoided entirely.  In many
organizations, key documents (such as by-laws, articles, constitutions,
etc) include the proceedure for amending themselves.  Anything that doesn't
have that specification is changed by the "default" method (motion).  On
top of that, there'd be nothing wrong with a standard "cut-n-paste" of such
sections...
