=====CTO and PR Director Removal=====
  −
The CTO and PR Director are currently elected positions in the Board of Directors, and will be filled for the 2019 election year. One of the many goals with this most recent revision of the Bylaws is to make a greater differentiation between the Board as an oversight body and area hosts/volunteers/agents performing the functions relating to the operation of the organization. The board typically handles a broad range of issues over the course of a year. The CTO and PR Director positions have fairly specific roles, which can be impeded by normal board operations due to constraints on time and energy. As such, The CTO and PR Director positions have been removed from the composition of the Board of Directors in this revision.

=====Position Transition=====
  −
For the purposed of a smooth simple transition, this vote converts these 2 positions to Directors at Large (DaL) so that the elected members may be allowed to serve the term for the purpose they were elected. The elected officers shall remain until the Board creates 2 new area host positions titled "Chief Technology Officer" and "Public Relations Director", at which point the officers elected to serve in those roles shall resign from the board and serve in those respective areas.
  −
  −
The language for the CTO and PR Director in the most recent version of the Bylaws that maintained the positions is as follows and will be used as a basis for the Area Host role description:
  −
  −
