I vote in
favor of the bylaws.
And I would like to address some of the following questions:
1) Are bylaws mandatory for EMC2, why do we need bylaws?
2) What are the benefits of having bylaws? How will bylaws help EMC2?
3) Can EMC2 bylaws be changed?
and
4) What are the disadvantages of having bylaws?
1) Are bylaws mandatory for EMC2, why do we need bylaws?
No, bylaws are not mandatory, however they are necessary. Bylaws provide for some very basic guidelines in which the org is expected to operate; fundamentally it identifies and encourages or discourages specific behaviors in order to allow the org to run in a stable and reliable way.
2) What are the benefits of having bylaws? How will bylaws help EMC2?
Bylaws create a norm, a standard, and points of measure. Bylaws allow everyone to publicly know what behaviors are expected. Bylaws can help clear up ambiguity, can help remind people of their duty / responsibility, and bylaws can help measure tenure. Bylaws also help the org to follow laws in other recognized jurisdictions.
3) Can EMC2 bylaws be changed?
Yes. see article 10 in the bylaws.
4) What are the disadvantages of having bylaws?
The greatest disadvantages of having bylaws is that many people won't read it.
