Sounds like they aren't working like they were intended. Below is the current requirement to amend the by-laws. I doubt if this has been followed, especially by people who can't put out a newsletter for over a year now.
SECTION 1: AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS
Any member may propose an amendment to the constitution and by-laws at the annual meeting(1st reading). The amendment must be accompanied by a petition signed by at least ten percent of the club membership. The petition will be reviewed for validity by the Executive Committee at the next Executive Committee meeting. If validated, the proposal shall be published in the quarterly newsletter prior to the next business meeting or annual meeting(2nd reading). The proposal shall be published again in the quarterly newsletter and then read and voted on the ZR-1 Net Registry web site or annual meeting (3rd reading).
The powers to be need to produce the required petition they have recieved to allow the entire by-laws to be scrapped.
Other requirements could not have possibly been met as a newsletter was not published.
All of you existing members and especially you new people should be very concerned about this.
