Notice(s) of motion for an electronic Annual General Meeting (eAGM)
Notices of motion proposed for General Meetings (including an electronic Annual General Meeting) are usually of major significance: that is, they involve a change of Constitution, or of significant operating procedure, or of major policy direction.
They are not usually used for minor differences of opinion, for personality-based matters, or for other minor issues.
Before putting forward a notice of motion for this electronic AGM process, please consider whether something you may want to raise could be handled in a simpler way, for example:
- request for consideration of an issue by the board of directors;
- development of a policy paper, or optional policy position (you may like to draft one);
- commissioning of research on a topic, issue or policy;
- writing of an opinion piece for the website (the editor/webmaster welcome contributions at all times of the year, not only around the eAGM,etc.
If it would help you, please consider discussing a proposed notice of motion with the President or the CEO/Secretary before putting it into the online system. Initial contact details are:
- President Dr Kristine Klugman president@cla.asn.au or
- CEO/Secretary Bill Rowlings secretary@cla.asn.au)
