    “I had one item. I just wanted to, now that we've been talking about kind of changing the bylaws, did we want to have any resolution on the other effort to update the bylaws at the next meeting? I wasn't sure. We never really kind of came to a consensus on kind of the path forward on that effort that Commissioner Ross had put together. I'm just trying to make sure. I mean, I understand this piece, but again, I know that there was an effort to kind of streamline the bylaws.
