OCC Bylaws Review Committee
March 17, 2025
As mentioned at the recent members' forum, though the board adopted the proposed revision (v250226), the board directed the bylaws committee to add a provison enshrining the rights and privileges of Super Seniors. In that regard, the board approved the following language to be inserted in the proposal:
Section 4.2 Super Senior Membership. The Board may establish a Super Senior category of membership to Members who shall, with the exception of the right to vote and being members of the corporation, have all the rights and privileges of Regular Members.
The latest proposal (v250317) may be found here

The Board passed the following version:
Bylaws Proposal for Membership Consideration
Redline comparison of current bylaws versus the proposal
February 9, 2025
Met with the Membership Committee and used input to slightly redraft the proposal. This is the version sent to the Board for consideration at their February 26 meeting.
This memo provides a short outline of the process and notes some of the edits. Various committees were given a short presentation concerning the proposal and this memo was distributed. The intent was to visit all the committees and meet with some other stakeholders but due to scheduling issues, they were not all visited.

After some email exchanges the committee received various drafts of past bylaws reviews. A couple of members of the committee met and discussed review and passage strategies.
Regarding seeking adoption by the membership, the current strategy is to break up the revisions into multiple sections and seek adoption section by section. The first section reviewed will be membership related provisions.
In accordance with this strategy, the committee will review and prepare a proposal covering Artciles I to Article VIII of the current bylaws.
After reviewing independantly, the committee will reconvene in early November to begin the review process in earnest.
