1. Publication of Bylaws for Public Review
   The bylaw subcommittee has finished the bylaw rewrite. The
   board has approved the latest version to be publisehd for
   public review and discussion pending a last legal review.
   For public discussion a list bylaws_at_x_dot_org will be
   created. Subscription to this list is open to the public
   (not just members). The members as well as other mailing
   lists will be notified of this list and people will be invited
   to subscribe themselves to participate in the discussion.
   The election schedule will be updated accordingly.
   The revised Membership Agreement will be published to the
   board after review by the counsel.
   Once the board has approved it will be published for public
   discussion on the same forum.

2. Members Mailing List
   SA will reinstate the members mailing list. The list will 
   have the name members_at_x_dot_org. instead of xf_members_at_.
