Proposed Bylaws Amendment 

In 2019, members approved a proposal to amend Article IV, Section 8 of the AMS Bylaws by inserting the following paragraph:

If the president and the secretary agree that a statement in the name of the Society is urgently needed and waiting for the next meeting of the Council would greatly reduce the impact of the statement, then the secretary shall communicate the proposed statement to the Council (making a good-faith effort to reach all members) and hold a vote, allowing at least one day for votes to be received after the communication. If favorable votes are received from at least two-thirds of the entire membership of the Council, and no more than two votes against it are received, then the statement will be made in the name of the Society. Actions taken under this procedure shall be reviewed by the Council at its next meeting, where a favorable vote of two-thirds of the entire membership of the Council shall be necessary to keep such a statement in place.

The proposed amendment was adopted. The amended AMS Bylaws are posted at www.ams.org/about-us/governance/bylaws/bylaws.

Questions or comments about elections should be directed to the Secretary.
