Last updated

The Intersect ByLaws have been reviewed and updated for the first time in nearly two years to ensure they accurately reflect requirements from Wyoming Law and the way the organization operates today.
It’s the Board responsibility to keep the ByLaws updated. The review process was led by Intersect’s Wyoming legal counsel, who assessed the original ByLaws to ensure alignment with the legal requirements applicable to Membership-Based Organizations (MBOs) in Wyoming. The process, as well as the final outcome, was overseen and approved by the Intersect Board, as the accountable body, with input also sought and incorporated where applicable from the Intersect Steering Committee.
The updates do not change the fundamental governance model of Intersect, instead consolidate existing governance documents in order to:
Ensure legal compliance and reduce ambiguity.
Correctly reflect the process changes implemented within Intersect in the past two and a half years.
Create a more complete and self-contained governance framework for members, by having all the ByLaws in one document.
As required by Wyoming Law, Intersect members will be asked to vote on whether to approve the proposed ByLaws update.
The updated ByLaws can only be adopted if the required approval threshold is achieved.
To participate in the ByLaws vote, members must meet all criteria below:
Hold an active Intersect membership.
Have maintained good standing membership for at least 180 days (6 months) before voting starts.
Have completed enhanced KYC verification before voting ends.
Have participated as a voter in at least one previous vote via the Intersect Member Area (this could include any election such as committee elections, board elections, and chair elections)
These eligibility criteria are intended to ensure voting participation comes from established members with a demonstrated history of participation.
