All Bylaw amendments have been approved by the Membership. They include amendments to:

Bylaw item 5 Membership
Amended to remove Membership fees and volunteer time, removing barriers to Membership.

Bylaw item 6 Rights of Members
Amended to remove the mandatory 1 year service before a Member can be considered eligible to seek election, removing barriers to Director eligibility.

Bylaw item 7 Waiting Period
Removed in its entirety. There will no longer be a waiting period once a Member has been approved. This will remove barriers to Membership and voting at AGMs.

Bylaw item 19 Removal of a Director
Amendments include reference to a new Code of Conduct (distributed prior to AGM), clarity around the formal investigation process should a Director exhibit inappropriate behaviour, and the addition that if the Director in question does not respond within 2 weeks of the receipt of the determination of said investigation, they will be deemed to have vacated the office of Director.
The Board of Directors also shared a new Code of Conduct.
