- Updates to the CCFT Bylaws and Constitution will be presented to he Council of Representatives next Thursday. The Council will decide if the updates require a vote of the membership.
- Both documents explicitly include the role of Chief Negotiator as Chair of the Negotiations committee.
- The Constitution is updated to exclude pre-Janus language, puts the PT Chair on a 3 year election cycle like the other officers, and includes a shorter ratification period for non officer elections.
