By-laws Construction Process:
The following process is followed in constructing the by-laws:

Step 2: Bylaws Subcommittee Community open forum.
- Subcommittee collected reference Bylaws from Subcommittee members as well as solicited reference Bylaws in the Open forum.
- The Subcommittee searched for Bylaws references that support the BOD structure. Following are the bylaws that are being used as references to author the BAGA bylaws:
- Open forums are scheduled no later than 45 days.
- Community discusses the articles at hand with AHC and Bylaws Subcommittee members.
- Community suggestions/concerns/issues for articles at hand are taken into consideration in reviewing or authoring articles.
- When needed, voting among the Ad-hoc Committee members may be done at Open forums.
Step 3: Bylaws Subcommittee:
- Bylaws Subcommittee Meeting attendees are subcommittee members and invited select Bylaws Community Experts.
- Each subcommittee member is assigned with a specific Article to research using the Bylaws references.
