Based on careful review and feedback from various members, the committee came up with four (4) types of edits and amendments - color coded in the March 29 document which shows a clear before / after. These four sections  are as follows:

• Section one, in yellow, are clarifications of language, typos, spelling out acronyms, punctuation and numbering corrections (some of which are dependent on the other sections below). 
  • These changes will be voted on all together on the ballot.
• Section two, in grey, are clarifications of language that has been problematic or confusing, such as identifying what prefectures are in each DAJ region.
• Section three, in green, are new sections or additional language.
• Section four, in blue, are new sections required or recommended by Democrats Abroad in the 2025 Model Bylaws.
  • Changes in sections two through four will be voted on individually. 
• 2025 Proposed Bylaws PDF Ballot - added April 25

• The PROPOSED BYLAWS DOCUMENT was shared in the MARCH 29 mailing to the members.
