errata from the Elections Working Group
The Pacifica Bylaws contain numerous typographical errors. In two instances, where they are substantive and likely to cause confusion, the EWG version has been corrected. Additionally there are numerous section headings which are inexplicably duplicated (e.g. "SECTION 3. NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF STATION REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTORSSECTION 3. NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF STATION REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTORS") and which have also been corrected for the sake of readability and navigability. The rest of the typos and nomenclatural inconsistencies are catalogued here for informational purposes only. This catalogue is not intended to cause undue embarrassment to the authors, ratifiers, students, well-wishers, interpreters, implementers or amenders of the Bylaws.
