Given the constitution can only be amended by an AGM or SGM (as far as I can tell). Are we having a meeting for motion 1? In the absence of said meeting I'm not convinced
an online vote would have any standing. Maybe consultative? You certainly couldn't amend the constitution by those means.
In theory if you want to amend the constitution by members voting outwith an AGM you would actually need to amend the constitution to allow that first.
This may seem like a pedantic point but governance is important and riding roughshod over the constitution does not reflect well on the present leadership. I would suggest a rethink, I don't doubt this is well intentioned but CS is erring here.
