This is Draft one of the Constitution. Make sure to read it all, because its added a few new parts. Feel free to debate and post ideas, find typos, suggest more idea, etc. This is not a voting topic. Keep it civilized though.

I'm a grammar Nazi and noticed mistakes, but too many small ones to type here. Can I please have the Word document to edit?

Thanks, I've started editing it but it's taking a while, will continue it later. I've edited the first two pages. I've mostly reformatted lines and removed title case from things that weren't an actual position, for example 'Regional Member' isn't a title, it's their status. They're a member of the region, not a Member of the Region, so it's been changed to 'regional member'.

If you don't mind, please don't fix the formatting. It's tricky to get it to look right sometimes and having it just tabbed was easy to customize. We can format at the end. As for the capitalization, you'll find I love my shift key. ;)

Oops, I've... uhh... already reformatted half the document, sorry, LOL. Can you check it and see if it looks fine? It's fine for me on my monitor and should be fine in PDF. All I changed was where you had the sections wrapping underneath the section name; I indented it by breaking it into separate lines.

I thought the tenants of the constitution were good. I'm happy with it myself.

Well, I guess it's fine. You are much better with coding then I am. From what I can see, it's fine. Although I am on a mobile. You can continue making grammer edits and I'll upload the new PDF. How's it look so far? It's basically an expanded and revamped version of the Constitution Ghant sent me. I tried to keep it as close to the original as possible.

Anything you think should be added or changed?

I like it. I think we should begin to post this as our new Constitution.

It's fine, formatting doesn't really matter in hindsight, I was just looking to contribute, saw errors and things to improve on and acted on it, :).

I don't mind if we put it to vote, might want to check via RMB as well though, seems to have more exposure at the moment.

I'm pretty sure Ghant had a draft one also made, I'll get him to upload it so we can compare them.

To my knowledge, he gave me his draft, and I changed and tweaked it. If he started another one then that would be different.
