This sounds like something that could be hooked up through OpenID: 
log in, the RP at openid.net sends a hash (or version number) of the 
latest bylaws (hash would permit it to operate on that single source, 
without risking a failure if the secretary forgot to update "version 
number") through AX and the user's OP (logging in on their behalf to 
check this? I mean, if the OP can do it *anyway*, why not take 
advantage of that?) notifies the user when that user next uses their 
OP for *anything*.
