New constitution
Dick Heathwood Wrote:Derek, I, also, have asked for changes to previous minutes. Sometimes my suggestions were accepted and sometimes not. It comes down to the simple process of convincing people that your own recollection is more accurate than the proposed record. If you succeed, then the minutes are amended at the next meeting but if you (or I) fail, then the minutes are adopted as originally proposed.
My point is that if you do succeed the minutes still are not updated and remain incorrect.

In all the circumstances, I wonder if you would like to withdraw your reference to the possibility that proxy votes were ignored.

I fail to see how reverting to the current constitution could not be a competent motion. Are you suggesting that the current constitution is not competent?

I would suggest that the vote was not competent as It was not advertised as being on the agenda.

My proposal was published without any problems being noted. How can those not attending the meeting possibly vote on this proposal? It is disenfranchising everyone who could not attend. An SGM should only vote on the matters published beforehand.

I also fail to see why I could not have been contacted to ask for a 2 minute rewrite if it was felt that this was the case, instead of it waiting for the meeting to propose it incompetent. It seems an underhand way of getting rid of a proposal that was not agreed with.

The wording of my proxies would still have allowed for my proxies to be used in support of them, even with this unadvertised "motion". I therefore stand by the fact that my proxies were ignored and the fact that an incompetent motion was allowed to be voted on.


Edit - I have now been separately advised by someone else that my proposal was not ruled as incompetent and there actually was a vote between my proposal and another one and my proxies (and possibly others) were just not counted.
