The context, in case you are not watching foundation-list too closely or
were not at the AGM at GUADEC:
It was suggested to make changes to the bylaws during the AGM at GUADEC.
A printed version of the old bylaws, the potentially new bylaws and a
diff were made available. Most of the changes incorporate amendments
made by the foundation earlier or just reflect the way we operate
nowadays. Some changes are fixed typos, a few introduce new things.
The relevant thread on foundation-list started here:
<https://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2012-August/msg00041.html>.
A diff is linked off here:
<https://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2012-September/msg00004.html>
and there is a bug here: <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683980>

I'm sorry for not having included that information in my previous mail.

Cheers,
  Tobi
