==Amendments==
===Amending a Bylaw===
:1. Notice that something needs to be changed!
:2. Make a '''''COPY''''' of the existing bylaw Google Doc and make trackable edits. This can be done via the amenders discretion - we recommend using the 'suggestions' function Google Docs or highlighting new additions & striking through + red colouring clauses to take out.
:3. Run the edits through whatever committee or group such that all executive members have reviewed and approved the changes.
:4. Write a motion for EUS Council stating the purpose of the amendments with the tracked document attached as an appendix item. The template and example for an EUS Council Sprit Motion can be found [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LFlNXTwTdpSEcyC8cKyUrf_6QV-xyk_U/view?usp=sharing here!]
:5. Send over your motion to the Speaker via email at speaker@mcgilleus.ca to be passed at the next EUS Council.
:6. Once approved by EUS Council, the bylaw must be ratified at the next general [[Board of Governors]] meeting. Rewrite your motion in the Board Final Motion Template, as seen [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sJGN9jzgcOQcksmFDznJmTiwEfyYFDho2USakKuy0g0/edit?usp=sharing here] and email it over to the Board Chair at board.chair@mcgilleus.ca.
:7. Bylaws MUST be ratified at the General Assembly - email the Board Chair to make sure that it is properly included. Until then, the Board-ratified bylaw will be active until the next General Assembly.
:8. Once finally passed your bylawis fully updated and officially ratified! ***MAKE SURE YOUR UPDATED BYLAWIS ACCURATELY UPDATED IN THE WIKI***
