Amendments to this constitution may be proposed by the Executive Committee, or by petition of any three members. Motions to amend shall be circulated among the membership at least six weeks prior to the annual business meeting. Friendly amendments to these motions may be submitted either by mail or email to the Secretary-Treasurer before the business meeting or at the meeting itself. Amendments shall be adopted by a majority vote at the annual business meeting, unless a mail or email ballot is requested. In the latter case, a majority of those members replying within one month of the ballot mailing shall decide the issue. No further amendments may be proposed between the time a motion to vote is approved and the completion of that vote. Amendments will be rejected in case of a tie.
