For simplicity and clarity, I suggest that we replace the entire Article VI Section 2 completely. Even though the first 3 grafs are unchanged. So the motion would be
"Replace Article VI Section 2 to read:"
-----------------
Section 2. Number, Election, and Term of Office. The Board of Directors shall consist of five members. Directors need not be residents of the State of Connecticut.
Each Director position has a three-year term, rotating among the five. Two positions shall expire in one year, two more in the next year, and the final one in the following year.
At the initial Board meeting after adoption of these Bylaws, Directors shall draw straws for expiration of current terms after asking for volunteers.
The Nominating Committee shall submit its nominations for Directors to the Board no less than eight (8) weeks before the Annual Meeting. There must be at least enough nominees in this "set" to fill all of the open seats; there may be more nominations than open seats. The Board may accept or reject all the set; it cannot reject just a subset. If rejected, the Committee will reconsider and offer a revised set of nominations for Board approval as soon as possible.
The approved set of nominees shall be submitted to the Members. A voting period will last seven (7) calendar days, with details of days and times published within three (3) days of Board approval of the set. The voting period will end before the Annual Meeting begins.
Votes will be collected and tallied electronically. Write-in candidates are permitted. All Members in good standing, verified by email address, will have one vote for each open seat on the board. The Candidate(s) will be ranked by number of votes and the open seat(s) will be awarded to the Candidate(s) with the most votes.

Here is the original paragraph from Article 6 section 2:
The Nominating Committee shall submit its nominations for Directors, one for each open seat, as a "slate" to the Board no less than eight (8) weeks before the Annual Meeting. The Board may accept or reject that slate. If rejected, the Committee will reconsider and offer a revised slate for Board approval as soon as possible.
The approved slate shall be submitted to the Members at the Annual Meeting for approval, which shall be by simple majority vote of the Members present if a quorum exists. If the slate is not so approved, additional nominations may be submitted by Consultant Members at the Annual Meeting for consideration.

Hi - here is the updated paragraph:
The Nominating Committee shall submit its nominations for Directors to the Board no less than eight (8) weeks before the Annual Meeting. There must be at least enough nominees in this "set" to fill all of the open seats; there may be more nominations than open seats. The Board may accept or reject all the set; it cannot reject just a subset. If rejected, the Committee will reconsider and offer a revised set of nominations for Board approval as soon as possible.
The approved set of nominees shall be submitted to the Members. A voting period will last seven (7) calendar days, with details of days and times published within three (3) days of Board approval of the set. The voting period will end before the Annual Meeting begins.
Votes will be collected and tallied electronically. Write-in candidates are permitted. All Members in good standing, verified by email address, will have one vote for each open seat on the board. The Candidate(s) will be ranked by number of votes and the open seat(s) will be awarded to the Candidate(s) with the most votes.

I think the Retreat minutes need the Bylaws change attached. Better: just copy the modified paragraph into the body of the minutes.
