DRAFT: Electronic meetings and balloting bylaw #85

This proposed bylaw updates the Organizational Bylaw #83. This draft has been submitted to the Board of Directors for their approval, prior to being voted on by members at a general members’ meeting. The bylaw must be approved by 2/3 of votes cast at the meeting.

Woodsworth’s Bylaw and Election committees used the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada’s model bylaw. (CHFC). The intention is to update the current Organizational Bylaw using the approved bylaw #85.

Nomination forms:  it is proposed that we use our own forms and attach them as Schedules G (Board) & H (Committees and delegates).
