It certainly would be difficult to get "2/3" of the voting membership to
agree on anything. That is why it only takes "51%" of the board to do
it.

====
ARTICLE VII
AMENDMENTS

These Bylaws may be amended by a majority vote of the Board then in
office at any regular or special meeting of the Board provided the
notice given for such meeting indicates that such amendments will be
considered.

Because of this, I don't actually see an issue. Should the issue become
a problem instead of an opportunity I would like to think that the
sitting board would be observant enough to see that, and make the change
as appropriate.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
