Dear Tim:  The By-Laws Committee has had on its plate the revision of the 
By-Laws for about two years (Elana was still Chair).  Lots of smoke but no 
fire.

Bhavin passed the chairmanship of the Committee to me last Spring and it 
took about three months to amend and pass the revisions to the RoP.  No one 
has seen enough incentive to try to change the By-Laws, which requires a 
two-thirds majority.

The big concern was the shell registrars.  Several rewordings of the 51% 
rule were proposed early on (before I was chair), but no proposal was offered.

Not one draft has been proposed.
