Add details on general secretary position
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
While the November MGM didn't decide one way or the other on a bylaws change for
this position, I decided that the best spot to codify the
responsibilities for the role was in the bylaws, particularly since it
grants the general secretary the powers to effectively change the
secretary for a meeting or act as a signer, and those powers could not
be easily granted without amending the bylaws.

Bylaws change approved during December MGM.
