Since we approved an amended version and it includes the changes we were seeking, I believe it would be
appropriate.

Bill, Dave and Bill:
Attached is the version of the WFPC Bylaws I forwarded to you back in January, but is different than the one that
was on for today. My guess is that Simone sent the old version to the Clerk to the Board. The attached did
away with the term limitations, something I now remember I had determined we could do. If it is alright with you,
I will change out the version that was approved today with the attached, and modify the resolution slightly to
reflect what we are doing. Let me know if that is OK.
Bruce.
