[Proposal] Bylaw Change: Clarifying Authority of Sub-Coordinators Regarding R&U Items

I, Jeff Cauley, Council Member of Baltimore by Night: Dark Harbor, do hereby propse the following changes to the Coordinator and Character Bylaws. The purpose of these alterations is to (a.) govern how R&U items are approved by Coordinators and (b.) clarify the abilities of their Sub-Coordinators in regards to this approval process. These Bylaws are simply codifying existing practices of several Coordinator offices and understood policies.

This proposal requires a second.

As this proposal is a Bylaw change, it may be publicly shared.
