Bylaws: revise indemnification language

šŸ—³ļø Vote progress

For some context, I was thinking about our language after reading this:

We were already reasonably constrained, but it seemed like constraining required/mandatory indemnification to the council/directors and officers at first makes the most sense. We can then allow the CFC to extend that indemnification to cover others (employees or committee members) when appropriate without requiring revisions to bylaws.

The revised text also clarifies that advance payments for indemnifications must be made in writing and include an acknowledgement to repay those funds if necessary

The language brings in more legal jargon, but I've included TIPs to try and keep things readable.
