Dear DAC,
The attachment for the bylaws contains the following edits to the May 11 presentation. These changes were suggested by members and the legal review and help with clarity. They have been reviewed by the Executive Board and do not represent substantive changes. It is proposed that suggestions for substantive change to either the revised or certified bylaws be addressed by the amendment process next year.
