Ok, I changed that.

The bylaws should probably more specific about the definition of
"simple majority".

Maybe one could replace the following:
"A simple majority is needed to pass or reject the motion. In the event
of a draw, being that 50% is not a majority, the motion does not pass."

with this:
"For the motion to pass, the number of YES votes has to be greater than
the number of NO votes."
