red insertions to reflect the current by-laws. There is no change to the actual
proposal. The Original below is for convenience only. There is a link to the
current by-laws on the ISC2.org website in case of any confusion or error.

Proposed
X. Amendments
The power
to ratify, amend, or repeal these Bylaws, in whole or in part, shall be in the
Members. Any such action shall require an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all
Members voting in person or by proxy at a meeting called for this purpose. A
minimum of 500 votes in favor of the change must be cast for the change to be
valid. The Board of Directors may propose amendments approved by vote of two-thirds
of Directors then in office. Members may submit proposed Bylaws changes using
the process to petition for a Special meeting of the members.
Rationale
Currently, the Bylaws
can be amended by as few as 40 people. That would be 2/3 of a minimum quorum of
members as defined in VI.5. Changes to the Bylaws should be more difficult than
that. Suggestion is that it should be at least as difficult at the petition
process.
