Bylaws amendment:
Revisions: Add: Article II, Section 1:
n. Fellowship Activity
Fellowship activities are events officially organized by the officers of the organization. Only current Carnegie Mellon University students, current students of other Pittsburgh-based universities, and dues-paying members are guaranteed the ability to participate in these events, unless restricted by effects of Article IX of these bylaws. All other individuals must request permission from the organization’s officers to attend (at maximum) 3 events per academic semester (where if one officer dissents, permission must be decided by majority vote). For specific events or individuals, the organization’s officers may alter these restrictions via a majority vote.
Amend: Article III, Section 2:
Any current student of Carnegie Mellon University or of a neighboring university in the Pittsburgh area is eligible to become a member of the KGB providing they have paid dues to the Treasurer and whose body temperature is above fifty (50) degrees Fahrenheit shall be considered a member. However, the second requirement can be waived for the fee of six (6) dollars. Special approval may be sought by the individual seeking membership if they are not a current student at a Pittsburgh-based university. This appeal must be submitted to the Corresponding Secretary in writing, who will present it to the board at the next Regular Executive Board Meeting, where membership may be granted by a two thirds (2/3s) vote of the executive board. The KGB abides by the Carnegie Mellon Statement of Assurance.
Amend: Article IV, Section 1:
Regular meetings of the organization shall be held as directed by the Executive Board. Written notice of such meetings shall be mailed to the membership at least six (6) days prior to the date of the first such meeting of each semester by the Corresponding Secretary through the official organization newsletter or by other mailing, as well as upon any change in the announced time. Only current Carnegie Mellon University students, current students of other Pittsburgh-based universities, and dues-paying members are guaranteed the ability to participate in these meetings, unless restricted by effects of Article IX of these bylaws. All other individuals may request permission from the organization’s officers to attend (at maximum) 3 meetings per academic semester. For specific cases, the organization’s officers may alter these restrictions via a majority vote.
