ACM 12.2 MOTIONS FROM THE EXECUTIVE
ACM 12.2.1 MOTION 1 (Page 81 Second Round Papers)
"That the following clause be added to the Council Regulations under the
heading "Executive" -
The tenure of the office-bearers of the Council in accordance with Article
17(a) (ii) and 42(a) shall not exceed five (5)
years except in the case of the Immediate Past President whose term shall be
limited to one (I) year, this being the first
year of the succeeding President's term, and in the case of the Executive
Vice-President whose term shall, in the
normal course, be limited to one (I) year this being the last year of the
existing President's term or otherwise as
Council may determine. The Council may extend the period which an Executive
member normally subject to a five
(5) year limit may hold office by two (2) years, to a total of seven (7)
consecutive years where exceptional
circumstances are seen to exist. Any such vote shall require a majority of a
least 75% of the members of Council to be
passed."
The changes to the Articles of Association adopted at the Annual General
Meeting gave to Council the power to set
the term of office for GFA officer-bearers.
After deliberating the above motion it was the consensus of Council that the
Executive motion be withdrawn, leaving
those positions relative to Executive office-bearers subject to annual
election.
However it was considered appropriate that limitations be placed on the term
of office of the President and the
Immediate Past President.
