Apparently the top down structure of the DPA allows changing of their C&BLs without following their own process as outlined in their C&BLs. The DPA is already violating their own C&BLs. Simply priceless.

Section4 of the DPA C&BLs

"4. The Board of Directors may vote, by a two-thirds (2/3) majority of all Board members to submit permanent changes to the Constitution and By-Laws to the Executive Board for consideration. Proposed changes will be published to the membership thirty (30) days prior to approval/rejection by the Executive Board so that the membership is aware of potential changes and may make comment on the proposed changes. Upon approval by the Executive Board, all changes will be ratified by a membership vote.
5. Permanent changes to the Constitution and By-Laws require a Simple Majority Vote of the membership to pass.
6. Temporary changes or deviations from the Constitution and By-Laws are prohibited."

Was there a vote, or did a group of "insiders" just decide what's best?
Dear 76drvr,

What you're quoting applies after the DPA gets voted in, not now. The C&BL's writing and editing will use this process after certification.

Best regards,

Carl
