SECTION 2, PARAGRAPH A; AMENDMENT PROPOSED TO ALLOW THE BOARD TO CARRY MOTIONS WHEN AS FEW AS FIVE (OUT OF SEVEN) VOTING MEMBERS ARE PRESENT, WHILE AVOIDING A SITUATION IN WHICH A DECISION THAT RECEIVES ONLY THREE POSITIVE VOTES CAN PASS. (THERE IS A HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO IN WHICH FIVE MEMBERS ARE PRESENT AND THREE OF THEM VOTE FOR A MOTION WHILE THE OTHER TWO VOTE AGAINST IT. POTENTIALLY THE TWO ABSENT MEMBERS MIGHT ALSO HAVE VOTED AGAINST SAID MOTION, WHICH WOULD MEAN A MOTION CARRIES WITH A MINORITY OF THE BOD IN FAVOR.)

PARAGRAPH E; AMENDMENT PROPOSED TO ESTABLISH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RECENT DECISION TO LIMIT EIC TERMS TO FIVE YEARS, AS WELL AS OTHER EDITS FOR ACCURACY (E.G., THAT THIS BYLAW SHOULD REFER SPECIFICALLY TO PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND THE PLANT CELL, BECAUSE PLANT DIRECT IS OVERSEEN DIFFERENTLY. SECTION 3, PARAGRAPH A; AMENDMENT PROPOSED TO ALLOW FOR GREATER FLEXIBILITY IN THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE STAFF'S WORKPLACE, TO UPDATE SOME WORDING, AND TO ELIMINATE ANY SENSE THAT THE BUILDING AND PROPERTY DONATED TO THE SOCIETY BY THE GUDE FAMILY IN 1980 WILL BE THE PERPETUAL HEADQUARTERS OF THE SOCIETY.
