The existing resolution specifices that it is not a standing committee.
It will be dissolved when its work is done after its report is presented
on time for the July annual meeting. (Final paragraph.)

"The committee will consist of five (5) members selected by the board of
directors,,(sic) all of whom have to be contributing members of SPI. It
will present its proposals in time for the general meeting in July. After
completing its intended purpose the committee will be dissolved."

I don't think it's a good idea to specify what the committee looks at. I
think it'll be necessary for the committee to review every section of the
by-laws and it may find it necessary to propose several minor amendments
for consistency and clarity as well as structure.
