There was a lot of discussion about how to draft Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5, and it was agreed that Stephen would take all the suggestions and comments made, review them and then redraft the revisions according to the guidelines given by the Board.

Stephen stated that we need to streamline the Bylaw to eliminate administrative details which will be incorporated into a set of administrative guidelines.
