Bylaws are the internal rules and regulations that govern how the Association  operates. Bylaws address Council composition, meeting procedures, voting rights, and officer responsibilities, among other things. These new bylaws comply with the law of the jurisdiction in which the Association is incorporated (i.e., Washington D.C.), and demonstrate that the Association is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and/or scientific purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The IARIW bylaws can be found here.
