Rules & Stuff Working Group
This working group exists to rewrite the bylaws and standing rules for readability and correctness. The current rules are contradictiory, less strict than michigan law requires, hard to read, *and* not in line with how we actually operate.
Meets on first wednesday of the month at 19:06 at https://www.i3detroit.org/hangout or maybe in person, ask on slack either way cause sometimes we don't meet and forget to mention it anywhere.
