Unless the bylaws committee asks to have the proposed bylaws published on the website, they are not going to appear.
Maybe the bylaws committee doesnt want the proposed bylaws published until they are voted on and no longer proposed.
During the slide presentation we were told there were a couple of the proposed bylaws that are no longer valid due to the bond.
I have no more info on this, but maybe that is why the bylaws committee is not requesting the proposed bylaws go on the website.
There are a couple people who post on punaweb who are members of the bylaws committee and maybe they can better address the status of putting them on the website.

Why wouldn't they want people to know what the proposed changes to the by laws are well BEFORE they are voted on?

In this day and age one of the most effective way to reach widely dispersed property owners is through electronic media, like the website or emails. All they have to do is clearly label the proposed changes as just that, proposed changes, and post them for the members to read. Usually this is done by showing the current text in a normal font, with strike throughs for proposed deletions and italics for the proposed new language. This is standard operating procedure for any board, whether it is a volunteer non profit or a paid board of professionals.

With so many HPP property owners living elsewhere, not to mention working people or others who cannot attend weekend evening meetings, it seems like this board and/or by-laws committee would want to be as transparent as possible and communicate with as many of the HPPOA members as possible. Instead, if you didn't go to ONE meeting, you have no way of knowing what the proposed by-laws changes are. The by-laws are the constitution of a non-profit describing the purpose, structure and function of the organization, so letting the members know what the proposed changes are in a timely fashion would make a lot of sense.
