Propose a change to the constitution
Below is the constitution as it stands today. Change the words you want changed, then press Generate and download your proposal. That file goes to the Internal Compliance Committee, who put it before the board, the intermediate board and the units.

If you have a proposal file from a previous session, open it here. Your changes are re-made against today's constitution, not the one you started from — so what you send is always a change to the text that is actually in force.
The constitution
Every box below is the current text of a provision. Edit one and you have proposed replacing it. Headings are editable too. Nothing is submitted until you download a file and email it.
Article numbers cannot be changed or reordered here, and there is no control for it. A number is how the constitution is cited — in Acts, in minutes, in links people have already sent — so an ordinary amendment never moves one.

About you
The constitution does not say who may propose an amendment, so any member may. Your name is recorded in the proposal permanently, from the moment you draft it.
Recorded in the file and checked against the register by the ICC when they receive it. This page cannot verify it.
How the Act would be titled if it passes.
Write it for someone who has not read the constitution today. This is printed at the end of the Act as the Statement of Objects and Reasons — it explains, and it can never be cited as authority for anything.
If you are unsure, leave it as an ordinary change. Re-adopting the whole constitution is a different instrument and is the board's to start.

Reference number for this proposal
—
This changes whenever your proposal changes. The approving bodies vote on this number, not on the title — so a proposal cannot be altered after a vote without the alteration being obvious.
