Notable Failed Change Attempts

Proposed changes from Shifman & Carlson Law firm

We paid for someone at Shifman & Carlson to look over our bylaws and propose changes. File:Draft Bylaws for i3 Detroit - 2015-01-23.docx It is unknown why these were not adopted.

We paid them here: Minutes:Board_Meeting_Minutes_20150310#Budget

Board Term Limits

It was brought up, approved, then another vote to amend the approved thing failed. Minutes:Meeting_Minutes_20150721#Proposal_on_Board_Terms

I don't see it mentioned in a member meeting.
