[xvii]: Updated to specifically state that the positions are available to be appointed, not the current
officers. Updated 14 August 2018.<br />
[xviii] Updated title of the section from "Fiscal Responsibilities" to "Fiscal Procedures." Updated 14 August 2018.<br />[xix] Text copied from the Treasurer's responsibility paragraph to put all the steps of the process in one place. Added to clarify timing and procedures without changing the meaning of the original text. Updated 14 August 2018.<br />
[xx] Renamed heading from "Event Budget" to "Reimbursement of Expenses," and the procedures have been rewritten to provide clear guidance on how sponsoring members can receive reimbursement for expenses for official events. Removed text referring to a detailed budget since, in practice, reimbursement has been for a single item, or a general category all paid on one receipt. If the sponsoring members do want more detailed information on expenses, they can ask for it while the proposal is being considered. Updated 14 August 2018.<br />
[xxi] Updated to define what the official communication methods are, and to remove specific mention of technologies and to consistently refer to OutWorlders as “the Organization.” Updated 1 October 2018. <br />
