Bylaws Revision: BOD, Officers, Amendments [2]

[Nils Lohner]

[  Unless there is a problem with the changes proposed herein, the next post 
will contain the entire modified bylaws (sections 3-12 as sections 1 and 2 
may not be modified).  There will be a brief comment period (should not be 
long since people have had a chance to comment throughout the changes) and 
then the bylaws will be put before the BOD for a vote.  It's almost done!

Nils.]
