Meeting (to be) held from 18:45-19:15 on 2013/12/05 in Zepler CLS Lecture Room

 

This EGM was called by the Secretary (Schmendrick). At least 24 hours notification was given by email to the society mailing lists.

Purpose of EGM

Copied verbatim from the official notification:

There are three issues that will be discussed and voted upon:

   Item 1) Amending the society constitution to reflect the updated SUSU structure.

   Item 2) Amending the society constitution to create a formal procedure for the 
           society accepting external sponsorship.

   Item 3) Only to be discussed if Item 2 passes, or a formal process is deemed unnecessary. 
           Discuss and vote on accepting external sponsorship from ConnectUs.

Conduct of the EGM

Unless otherwise specified, these guidelines are the opinion of the Secretary, rather than rules laid out in the constitution, and can be overruled by the Chair.
