Yes. Quick look at the new process:

(1) Notify staff we're about to start "as early as practicable" = now.
(2) Formulating new bylaws.
(3) Formal community approval, i.e., vote.
(4) Notify staff of the result.
(5) Staff review and report to a Board committee (10 days).
(6) Public Comment Forum.
(7) Staff report of the Forum (30 days).
(8) Board committee review and recommendation to the Board.
(9) Board action, recognizing or rejecting the proposal.

If I understand this right, we should formulate the new bylaws
and vote on them before any interaction with staff is needed
(other than being notified we're about to do it).
