Very helpful thanks Whale. To both davidp and I, I expect.
So if davidp likes the new by-law, he badgers the EC and / or Strata Manager into making sure it's registered in a timely fashion. If he doesn't like the new by-law, he can try 'letting sleeping dogs lie' which is what's going on where I live. The two years will be up in a couple of months and the by-law will never be registered.
