I live in Arizona where I am the President of the Board of Directors at an airpark. An airpark consists of homes constructed with taxiway access to an airport. Recently, I wrote several amendments to our bylaws, as instructed by the Membership. The changes were presented to the membership during a scheduled annual meeting following the required notification process. I presented rewritten articles of the bylaws with strikethrough text denoting text that would be eliminated, and italics text denoting added text. After the members approved the changes, I removed the deleted text, and changed the italicized text to the normal font. In other words, I inserted the approved changes and reprinted the bylaws with amendments.

Today, I discovered that a pevious amendment was done differently by my predecessors. The earlier amendments make reference to the changed sections which are simply attached to the end of the orginal bylaws. A person reading the bylaws must check the amendments, and compare them to the orignal text in order to derive their meaning.

My question is: Is the process I followed permissable, or must I redo my revisions, attaching them to the end - along with the others. If the process I followed is permissable, can I insert the earlier amendments appropriately, subject to approval of the Membership?
