Dear all SLUG members, I hope the diversity of mailing list I have chosen to send this to reaches all our SLUG members. We will take the discussion of constitutional changes entirely onto "activites@" after this announcement.
Over the last few months it has become apparent that we require to make a few changes and additions to the constitution. Amongst these changes are: * the creation of a corporate membership, * the correction of notice times, * the addition of a mailing-list policy, and * changes to the process of becoming a member (in line with changes of LA). Rule 37 of our current constitution requires that an alteration of the constitution needs to be amended through a special resolution of the association in a general meeting to be announced by the committee. The committee discussed the issues at hand. In view of the complexity, the SLUG committee has accepted a motion to create a sub-committee in accordance with rule 21 of the current SLUG constitution. This sub-committee has delegation from the committee to prepare a document with the proposed constitutional changes and bring it back to the SLUG committee by 7th July. The sub-committee is chaired by James Polley. The sub-committee may meet and adjourn as it thinks proper. James will start with an email on the activities mailing list. This email constitutes a written delegation to the sub-committee. SLUG members are encouraged to join James in the preparation of the amendment document. Best Regards, Silvia Pfeiffer. -- Vice-President of the SLUG committee -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
