Bylaws in their split up form. You can view the new bylaws in a single document for ease of reading here.

Once merged (and the links exist) we will add cross links between the bylaws for easier navigation. For example with links to the relevant votes from the PSR workflow.

Please discuss these changes here

Locked for discussion as all comments should be on the mailing list topic


Whilst there are a number of defined functions below but they should also perform other duties as required. As the role has continuity (in that there will always be a post holder) and redundancy (There are a number of post holders in case of the absence of one) it can be ensured that responsibilities assigned to the secretary will always be completed and therefore administrative responsibilities such as vote management should always be assigned to the FIG Secretary.

All FIG Secretaries are expected to remain impartial and professional when acting in an official capacity as Secretary and should also remain aware that even when not acting in an official capacity, their actions reflect back on the PHP FIG and the FIG must not be brought into disrepute.

In order to ensure impartiality, Secretaries may not concurrently serve as a Project Representative, Core Committee Member, or Editor of a PSR. They may, however, be a member of a Working Group.

They must declare all conflicts of interest (for example being on the core team of member projects or involvement in PSR working groups)

Probably needs an "in that case" or something? They must declare such where, when, how?

By some official public medium but we're generally careful in the bylaws to not say where stuff must be 'posted' so we don't need a bylaw change for moving from a mailing list to forum for example.

semicolon should be comma. But since that's a very long list of people who can object, this is basically not an authority in practice, no? Anyone objects, and then... what?

I removed what I feel are parts of the mission statement that are not adding to the core message. I think the statement reads better now without losing any of the intent.
Made the mission statement less wordy
