I think that other amendments should be considered at the same
time. Here are the other amendments that I would like to propose be
added to the ballot:<br>
<div class="" id="magicdomid8">
<ul class="list-bullet1">
<li><span
class="author-a-z83zz87z9z87zz80zz88zqz74zz82zoz88zi2ju0">Under
"Selection of Coordinators", regarding when elections are
held, change "by midsummer (the summer solstice) to "within
15 months of the previous election". Also in "If events
prevent an election by midsummer, it will be held as soon
after midsummer as possible," change the word "midsummer" to
"then" in both places.</span></li>
<li><span
class="author-a-z83zz87z9z87zz80zz88zqz74zz82zoz88zi2ju0">Under
