[CCWG-Accountability] Regarding how bylaw changes are made

[Kavouss Arasteh]

Dear All 
I agree to the term that no one should dictate the CCWG.
Still why there is a need that we  raise any such question to the Board,
 Bruce is quite active and requested to continue the Liaison

One would expect some adjustments on timing and wording rights to be made in the process, also board voting rights in this particular process may need to be agreed upon. It will not be encouraging to have  implementation stopped on the basis of no 2/3 board majority....time utilization is an important factor in all these. So the earlier we involve board (without having them dictate for us) the better.
