> Amendments to the Charter

> This charter can be amended at any time as proposed by no fewer than ten
> (10) members and as approved by no less than two-thirds (2/3) of the
> members of the IGC. The membership requirements for amending the charter
> are based on the most currently available voters list. In amending the
> charter, everyone who voted in the previous election will be deemed a

> Currently the charter <http://igcaucus.org/charter>  reads as:
>
> "
> As part of the voting process the voter must personally ascertain that
> they are a member of the IGC based on membership criteria described
> elsewhere in this charter and posted as part of the voting information
> (i.e. a voter must affirm membership on the voter form in order to vote).
> The decision to self-identify as a member of the IGC is a personal decision
> based on the criteria defined. A list of the self-defined member-voters
> will be published after the election with the results of the election.
>
> "
> Changes proposed:
>
> 1. Indicate that the affirmation is prior to the vote and not part of the
> vote.
> 2. require that all ballot include the ability to abstain.
