Amendments to these Bylaws may be proposed by either the Board of Directors, after a two-thirds vote of existing board members or by a petition signed by at least 30 WAP members in good standing. The Secretary shall receive both board-approved Bylaw change proposals and petitions. The Secretary will ensure all petitioners are current members of the Organization.

The Secretary must publish the proposed Bylaws 14 or more days before said meeting date on the WAP's online Discussion Forum (TCS) or by notification using other electronic media. The Bylaws will be amended on an affirmative vote of two-thirds of those Regular Members in good standing who are present and voting. The complete, amended Bylaws shall be published on the Corporation's public Web site and a notice placed in the next edition of the Washington Apple Pi Journal following its adoption. [Amended March 2004 and August 2008.]
