Note that on transition, any previously unalterable provisions cannot be amended. Other provisions you move from your society's constitution to your bylaws (and other bylaws for that matter), can be amended on transition – with member approval. But any potential amendments to previously unalterable provisions must wait until after the society has filed its transition application.
