Get your co-op counsel involved. You must have specific issues that you wish to change; these should be discussed in detail with counsel. This document is not the House Rules that you can rewrite anytime depending on the needs of the time. Also, you should bring an open mind when amending documents as fees, etc. are now in question and this is the time to bring real change.
Also, there are sections, as pointed out, that the Board may change; others can only be amended by vote of shareholders (supermajority or just simple majority) depending on the current ByLaws.

Read your bylaws.... Our ByLaws map out how to change a bylaw. For us, we did not need a lawyer. A group of Shareholders in our building sent a petition around, got the specified number of signatures, presented it to the Board, and as directed in the ByLaws -- the Board was forced to call a special meeting and we voted to change a bylaw.
