[ZF] A clarification in the bylaws could be good.

Hi Lennart,

Just a general note: We have several bylaws changes lined up already,  
and your suggestions will add new ones. We're very happy to have more  
eyes on the legalese bits, which we're still coming to grips with. The  
old board has not proposed any of them because with the election going  
on we did not want to overload the membership with both election and  
bylaws changes.

In the next few months the procedure we will follow with these bylaws  
changes is described (partly) in the bylaws in Paragraph 7.10.  
Basically, for every change one of us on the board will send out an  
email to the foundation at zope.org and foundation-announce at zope.org  
lists describing the current bylaws rule, the problem it poses, and  
the proposed solution alongside a redlined bylaws document that  
clearly shows the changes. Then we wait 15 days. If no one vetoes the  
proposed change, it will be adopted and the bylaws will be changed  
accordingly. If we receive vetoes the bylaws change will remain  
pending and we will put it to a vote at the next general meeting, or  
any special meeting that brings all members to the table. (Having said  
that, I realize the second bit, meaning a vote on bylaws changes, is  
not really mentioned in the bylaws, either...)
