Voting by the membership for proposed changes to AGU bylaws and articles of incorporation was completed on 13 November 2009. The proposed changes would expand AGU's Council to focus it on science; shift the business and fiduciary responsibility for AGU to a newly created, smaller Board of Directors, freeing the Council to focus on science policy and other science‐related matters; and modernize AGU's governing documents to reflect current practice in not‐for‐profit governance. All background information was provided in the 15 September 2009 issue of Eos and in subsequent issues.
