FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 4 CHANGES TO THE BYLAWS IN THE CURRENT YEAR ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE CURRENT BYLAWS INCLUDE THREE VOTING AND FIVE NON-VOTING CLASSES. THE NEW BYLAWS RECOGNIZE STUDENT/FELLOWSHIP MEMBERS AS A NEW NON-VOTING CLASS. THE NEW DC LAW INCLUDES THE AFFIRMATIVE RIGHT OF MEMBERS TO VOLUNTARILY RESIGN THEIR MEMBERSHIP IN THE CORPORATION AT ANY TIME. THIS SECTION IS INCLUDED TO REFLECT THIS MEMBERSHIP RIGHT UNDER DC LAW. THE PREVIOUS BYLAWS DID NOT ADDRESS TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP. DC LAW PERMITS TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP IN A MEMBERSHIP CORPORATION "FOR REASONS PROVIDED IN THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS." ALTHOUGH RARE, INSTANCES COULD OCCUR THAT COULD NECESSITATE TERMINATING A MEMBER'S MEMBERSHIP. "GOOD CAUSE" IS CAUSE AS DETERMINED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE FAILING TO MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP AS OUTLINED IN THESE BYLAWS OR TAKING ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE STATED MISSION OF APHL. UNDER THE NEW DC LAW, THE QUORUM REQUIREMENTS VARY WHEN VOTING AS A SUBGROUP (E.G. PHI/STATE MEMBERS VOTING FOR THE PHI/STATE MEMBER OR FOR BYLAWS AMENDMENTS) VERSUS VOTING AS A SINGLE GROUP ON AN ISSUE PRESENTED TO THE MEMBERS AS A WHOLE. REGARDING MATTERS FOR WHICH MEMBERS ARE ENTITLED TO VOTE AS A SEPARATE GROUP, A MAJORITY OF MEMBERS OF THAT GROUP ENTITLED TO VOTE CONSTITUTES A QUORUM FOR THE TRANSACTION OF BUSINESS AT A MEETING OF THE MEMBERS. ON OTHER MATTERS, TWENTY-FIVE (25) MEMBERS ENTITLED TO VOTE CONSTITUTE A QUORUM FOR THE TRANSACTION OF BUSINESS AT A MEETING OF THE MEMBERS. UNDER THE NEW DC LAW, MEMBER ACTION BY BALLOT VOTE IS CLEARLY PERMITTED. THE NEW LAW PROVIDES CLEAR AUTHORITY FOR MEMBER ACTION OUTSIDE OF A MEETING SO LONG AS CERTAIN CONDITIONS ARE MET. NOW, ANY ACTION THAT MAY BE TAKEN AT A MEETING OF MEMBERS MAY NOW BE TAKEN WITHOUT A MEETING IF THE CORPORATION DELIVERS A BALLOT TO EVERY MEMBER ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE MATTER. - ACTION BY BALLOT VOTE. ANY ACTION THAT MAY BE TAKEN AT A MEETING OF THE MEMBERS MAY BE TAKEN WITHOUT A MEETING IF APPROVED BY A BALLOT VOTE CONDUCTED IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER. THE CURRENT BYLAWS REQUIRE A TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY VOTE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO DECIDE A TIE. HOWEVER, THAT IS A SOMEWHAT HIGH THRESHOLD. IN THE NEW BYLAWS, ONLY A MAJORITY VOTE IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT A DECISION CAN BE REACHED. THE CURRENT BYLAWS LIST THREE OFFICERS. TO REFLECT CURRENT APHL PRACTICE, THE IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT IS NOW ALSO FORMALLY RECOGNIZED AS AN OFFICER OF APHL IN ADDITION TO THE PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT-ELECT. THE CURRENT BYLAWS ALLOW AN OFFICER TO BE REMOVED ONLY BY A VOTE OF THE MEMBERS. THE NEW BYLAWS WOULD ALLOW REMOVAL BY THE REMAINING BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE REMOVAL PROVISION REGARDING DIRECTORS IN GENERAL. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING. AN ACTION MAY BE TAKEN WITHOUT A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IF A CONSENT IN WRITING DESCRIBING THE ACTION TO BE TAKEN IS APPROVED AND SIGNED BY ALL OF THE DIRECTORS ENTITLED TO VOTE. IF ALL OF THE DIRECTORS RESPOND AND IF THE DECISION IS UNANIMOUS, THEN THE RESULT OF THE POLL WILL BE AN ACTION OF THE BOARD. DOCUMENTATION OF THE UNANIMOUS CONSENT MUST: (I) DESCRIBE THE ACTION TAKEN, (II) BE SIGNED BY EACH DIRECTOR IN A MANNER THAT CONFIRMS HIS/HER APPROVAL AND IDENTITY, AND (III) BE FILED WITH THE MINUTES. IF ONE OR MORE DIRECTORS DO NOT RESPOND OR IF THE DECISION IS NOT UNANIMOUS, THEN NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN AND THE BUSINESS OR QUESTION MUST WAIT FOR DISCUSSION AND VOTE AT A MEETING OF THE BOARD.
