FALL/WINTER 2012 COUNCIL LINK NOW ONLINE - BYLAW UPDATES
---------------------------
In the new issue of "Council Link - A periodic report to the Owners of
Equity" President Allan Teichman reports on Council's recent bylaw
updates. 

Equity's bylaws occupy a middle ground between the broad, visionary
statements of the Constitution and the detailed requirements of Council
policy. All together, these three levels of regulation set out the
purpose and core structure of Equity and specify how the Association is
governed and run.

Although both bylaws and policy are regularly reviewed, bylaw changes
must be published to the Equity membership within 45 days, so Council
collects pending amendments for a year or more and then processes them
at one time. This recent collection of bylaw amendments was passed at
Council's September and October 2012 meetings. Each bylaw change is in
effect as of its date of passage, except for the changes to the joining
process which will take effect December 31, 2012, and the implementation
of Article 47.3 which is deferred until the beginning of April, 2013.
The changes will be integrated into the online version of the bylaws in
the near future.

Electronic access to "Council Link" issues is restricted to Equity
