The current system under the bylaws will be used to determine whether or not to change the system of electing the Board members. In fact, the proposed change will be limited to the method in which individual Board members are elected, the change will not affect the votes required to amend the bylaws (i.e. to change the system another time).

So maybe my question should be will the current voting system be a vote option for that vote so that members that don’t want to change get a say.

I guess it also raises the question of what voting system do we use to vote to change the voting system? :P
