It's fine that the Bylaws Committee gives its thoughts on bylaws interpretations but it's not their job (or within their authority) to make definitive rulings on bylaws interpretations. That's the Board of Directors job.

The Committees duties are clearly stated and limited per Article IX.

ARTICLE IX. COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
Section 2. Committee Duties
b. Bylaws Committee: The Bylaws Committee shall:
1. Consist of three (3) members serving a term of one (1) calendar year.
2. Review the Bylaws of the HCA on an annual basis, for consistency with the aims and policies of the HCA.
3. Receive, submit and review all proposed amendments to the HCA Bylaws.
4. Submit recommendations for proposed amendments to the HCA Bylaws to the Board of Directors for approval.
5. The Chairman of the Bylaws committee shall be the 2nd Vice Chairman of the HCA and shall be responsible for receiving the ballots and declaring the results.
6. All amendments to the bylaws shall be announced in the next published edition of the HCA Newsletter after declaration of results.

Nowhere is the Bylaws Committee given the power to make definitive rulings on bylaws interpretations.

So who does make the definitive interpretations? The answer is the HCA Board of Directors.

ARTICLE VI. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 4. Powers and Duties: The general management of the affairs of the HCA shall be vested in the Board of Directors of HCA. The Board of Directors shall:
a. Transact all other business not explicitly vested herein to the general membership, required to carry out the purpose and aims of the HCA;

So long story short is that the Board of Directors still needs to decide this issue.
