Cohousing-L Mailing List: Bylaw amendments

[Pam Gilchrist (pam]

Our Sand River bylaws use a condominium template which we are in the 
process of amending to state (in part) "...to the extent allowed by law 
and the HOA governing documents, the Sand River Community makes 
decisions by consensus using...".  And "...A proposal can come to a vote 
if consensus cannot be reached within three meetings, and the three 
levels of consensus and closing options have been used....".

Laws vary by states, but are there other cohousing communities who would 
share their experience amending bylaws to insert the consensus process 
with a fall back voting option?
