Hi!

I just received from Mark Radcliffe the proposed changes to the bylaws,
which we'll discuss at the TC meeting later today.

Please find attached:
* A document showing the diff between current (15) and proposed (18)
* A document showing the diff between early proposed changes (17) and
currently-proposed changes (18)

Mark Radcliffe added as comments:

The second set of changes reflects comments raised at the last meeting
of the committee, particularly by Mark McLoughlin on behalf of the
Technical Committee.

Version 18 has not yet been approved by the committee.  These changes
are meant to reflect the need to move from a “module” based method of
determining when the trademark can be used to a more flexible method
which can be agreed upon by the Technical Committee and the Board. As I
said to Mark and I think that he passed on to the Technical Committee,
the reasons for the DefCore and these revisions are as follows:

> I appreciate your comments at the Bylaws committee meeting.
> We don’t want to have the TC misunderstand the reasons for the bylaws
> change or their consequences. These changes are focused solely on
> determining how and when the trademark can be used.  We want to
> ensure that the TC has an active role in the decisions.
> Consequently, we will shift back to the use of “core” for these
> procedures being set up. However, as I noted,  a number of members of
> DefCore Committee have expressed a desire to use a word other than
> “core” for this concept so we may see an additional change in the
> name .
