OK, so I'm a little late with this comment ...
Does this amendment allow for the creation of fora that are not read-only for the public - i.e. fora that are hidden from the public? Would we be able to create another forum similar to the Member's Lounge under the wording "new forums ... will be read-only to the public, unless otherwise designated by a Binding Vote of the Membership conducted according to Article 7. " I can imagine a members' only type of specific forum, such as a GOTF bulliten board, might be desired in the future.
Waiting for clarification before voting.
