Members should carefully review the constitutional amendments. There are some pretty sweeping changes. I would like to see more debate pro and con about these amendments. A lot has happened in the world since these were proposed.
I would like more detail about the reasoning behind allowing Affiliate members to vote. I don’t agree with this.
