One Board member has volunteered to start the process to amend the bylaws, but one SC has pointed out that a policy statement passed by the Board would be much quicker. They've also been discussing whether there can be more than one site for the same county under the USGW umbrella, an idea which seems pretty innocuous, but which some SCs fear might confuse people.
