I think this is a great idea. These kinds of details really belong in the hands of the Board such that the Board can manage the Alliance’s affairs. They really shouldn’t be memorialized in the Bylaws.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

Below is a motion LANL would like to propose this Thursday at the Board meeting:<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

Modify Section 4.1b of the bylaws to state: <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<div class="">
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
The number of membership levels, as well as their titles, fees and benefits, shall be defined and decided by the Board of Directors.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<div class="">
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
My goal here is to remove the specifics of the membership levels from the bylaws.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="">
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
This would give us more flexibility with regard to membership levels, and could accelerate the completion of our bylaws update.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
