Our organization is considering a merger with another local organization. We have two clauses that are currently in dispute with members of our organization. The first clause is the dissolution clasue which does not speak to any specific details on how to dissolve. The second clause is under Amendments, Repals, Etc. which states "The constitution and by-laws of the LVPMFCP can be amended or repealed if approved on the floor of a regular monthly meeting by a majority of the voting members present and only then, if the proposed amendment was made public at three previous regular monthly meetings". Our question is would desolving the organization constitute a by law change or could the organization vote to dissolve at any meeting, regular or otherwise called by the President?

I believe that all party's involved have to agree to change it document, unless there is a clause which allows you to do so, failing this the end date would be the only time to change the said document

If no documentation has been involved then you have no worries anyway

I'm not sure I understand. When you say all parties involved are you saying that in order to dissolve, it would take unanimous approval of the board or the membership and not a majority? My question really was, does the "By-law Ammendment" clasue apply?
