You're quite right.  The proposed bylaws shouldn't be ignored; they
should be changed to reflect what was agreed upon by the original
Trustees, and practiced ever since.  That section and the quorum
requirements (which would fail disastrously given the number of members
that the Foundation has) are the major obstacles to ratifying the
bylaws, and now would be as good a time as any to clean that up.
