[MakeLV] Our Constitution, My Review

[Tyler Worman]

I've made some of the changes Josiah suggested and left comments on the talk
page for others.

I'm don't think we need to incorporate anymore since we are founding as a
club. I could be wrong. Matthew, do you have any thoughts on this?

The absentee ballot system is a good idea. Any proposals on how this would
work? We'd then need to provide a full listing of issues to be voted on x
days in advance of a meeting is my guess or require the issues to be voted
on be decided at a previous meeting? Does this tie our hands? For accepting
votes, would we do this by paper, mailing list (then it's not private), or
just by direct email to the scribe?
