Language of the Vote
Here is the actual text that will be recorded as, for example, an expense authorization, a Policy of the Corporation, a proposal for a change of director or officer, etc. The Language of the Vote, as voted on by the Membership, must include the actual language of any externally referenced documents. Links are not allowed. Amendments to existing Policies always place the entire Policy up for vote, not just the part being amended.
