Changing Bylaws

Prior to the first Board election, these Bylaws may be changed by approval of a majority of Initial Worker-Owners.

Once a Board has been elected, with exceptions listed below or on a specific Bylaws page, these Bylaws may be changed by approval of 2/3 of Board at a duly called Owner meeting, or by 2/3 of those voting by electronic ballot duly submitted to Owners, so long as a quorum participates. All elections should provide at least 15 days prior notice. 

Exceptions include:

• Changes to the Bylaws (including formatting changes) not affecting the decision-making power or financial rights of Members may be made by approval of 2/3 of the Board.
• Each time a page in the Bylaws is amended, the Board Secretary will email a copy of the new Bylaws to all Owners, and will put the Bylaws on the NFE Library. The Library will include an archive of all old Bylaws. NFE's Library software (bookstack) will be used to maintain revision history and comments for more context on why each change was made.
