Alternate meeting wording bylwas

[Darren Benham]

Someone mentioned that the meeting section of the bylaws need to be looked at
so I looked and here's what I came up with.  The whole section was talking
about meetings of the whole body of members but that seems unproductive.  All
the business done by SPI (legally) will be done by the Board and it's 
committees.  Anything a general body of the membership decides would be 
non-binding.  The only reasons they would have for meeting are:

1) To vote the Board members, and that's better done by Email.. due to the
   requirement for secret ballots.
2) To keep up to date with all that's going on.. and spi-general is will
   be the prefered method for that.
3) To be able to question the Board/committees about various issues.. and that
   can be done at board meetings or email.

So... based on the way the rest of the bylaws are structured and business
to be conducted, I'd recommend replacing the membership section with this:

My comments and what I changed will follow.. I will reply to this message.
