Amending bylaws is a governance action that involves the membership and follows a formal process. Proposed changes are circulated to members in advance and must be approved by a defined majority at a general meeting. This setup ensures members have time to review and discuss the proposal and that changes have broad support, not just the preference of a few individuals. The exact majority threshold and notice period are usually specified in the bylaws themselves. That’s why relying on the board alone, or a simple chair motion without proper notice and a vote, or skipping a vote entirely, does not fit.
