Yep. I was supposed to do it and I haven't done it yet. I'll do it 
hopefully within the next week.

I have a small issue though: We potentially want to discuss the hunks in 
the diff and also propose new versions. Doing that via email is quite 
tedious, because we cannot easily keep track of the whole document. But 
neither gobby nor git nor the wiki are good solutions, as neither of 
them is good for actually discussing things.
So if you have a suggestion as to how to nicely discuss changes to the 
bylaws, let me know. I'll send around the old bylaws, the potential 
new bylaws and the diff soon anyway.

And at some stage we need to put the final proposal up on 
http://foundation.gnome.org for a notice period. We must put the new 
bylaws up on "http://foundation.gnome.org"; for a few weeks before they 
will be put into effect. I'm still tinkering with that new wordpress 
instance to make it happen.
Again, if you have a proposal as to how to integrate that
notice, let me know.

Cheers,
  Tobi
