Ridecamp: [RC] the new bylaws and family membership

The link from the online comparison of old and new has the following note below
on family memberships.  No changes are planned in the dues structure for family
memberships.  It's just a better way to allow voting on AERC issues.

**********************************
This area no longer shows the family membership.  The existing bylaws 
defines family membership for voting purposes as having two votes.  
Under the new bylaws all family members 18 or older will be allowed 
to vote.  Both existing and proposed bylaws allow the board to 
establish the dues structure so there need be no change in dues 
with the passage of the new bylaws unless the board decides to 
change for some other reason.  Family membership as originally 
designed was a father and/or mother with all supported children 
living at one address or at college, receiving one Endurance 
News and two adult membership votes.  Under the proposed 
bylaws - all family member adults will be allowed to vote.

For example, a father, mother and two daughters (both 18 or 
older and supported) still at one address or at college 
receiving one Endurance News would now have four votes. 
The words family membership may not be in the proposed 
bylaws but everything is in order for the board  to continue 
the family membership dues structure.  Section 5.05 provides 
for the board to determine dues structure and which allows 
for the family membership dues structure to continue.
