-# Everybody is welcome to give feedback on and discuss each and every provision in the by-laws within the given time frame.
+* The bylaws have been enacted with the inception of the Verein.
-# The place to give feedback is [http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Panotools-List/ Panotools-List]. All other places will be ignored.
+* Changes to this document should be proposed/discussed on [http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Panotools-List/]
-# Please give feedback on an open thread or on the latest version of the draft only.
+* Suggested changes will be submitted to a vote by the Verein's members on [http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Panotools_GA/]
-# Newer versions of the draft will be published on the wiki and announced on [http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Panotools-List/ Panotools-List].
+* The vote will take place either during the regular yearly General Assembly, or a.s.a.p. if the conditions for (8.4) are met.
-# When starting a new thread, please quote the relevant provision, not the whole text. To facilitate references, provisions are numbered.

-# If you intend to reopen discussion on a provision that has been declared closed, you will be made aware that it has been discussed and closed before. In that case, you will need to state the reason why you want to re-open the discussion. I reserve judgment on whether to re-open the provision or refuse the change request on the basis that no significant change has happened since the last closing of the discussion. Coming late to the party is not a good reason to reopen a provision.
-# One issue = one mailing list thread. If you have more than one issue, please don't group them. Instead start many threads.
-# Typos and other minor edits can be forwarded to [mailto:yuval_levy@yahoo.com me] directly. No need to clog the mailing list. Express in public feedback on provisions that you want publicly discussed.
-# I will strive to solicit feedback from the group at large issue by issue, thread by thread, and to bring each thread to a closure/compromise. If after a reasonable amount of time there is no feedback/discussion, I will declare a provision closed.
-# I will declare a thread/provision closed and amend the draft with its conclusions when I will have reasonable indication that the issue has been thoroughly discussed.
-# When all threads / provisions are closed, I will officially turn the document to the elected moderators. If they accept it, they will automatically become the initial board of the Verein. If they reject it, we are back to the drawing board.
-# If the elected moderators will accept the draft, they will hold a vote on PanotoolsNG asking the membership at large if they want to transfer ownership of the list to the new entity. If the elected moderators reject the draft, we are back to the drawing board.
-# If we made it until here, we are done.
