[council] Council vote on by-laws

[William Drake]

Hi

Avri's proposed approach is sensible and would be NCUC's preference.   
However, if there's overwhelming sentiment that differentiated  
reporting is needed, it would be better to respect board members'  
intelligence and dispense with the transparent spinning.  Tim's  
approach would be preferable in that context.
