B-9 BY-LAW 13 - GENERAL MEETINGS OF THE INSTITUTE

Sponsor: Atlantic Regional Executive | Disposition:  Carried

Whereas the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) is the Supreme Governing body of the Institute; and

Whereas details of proposed changes are only required to be provided to all members no later than four weeks before the AGM; and

Whereas four (4) weeks does not provide sufficient time for delegates to the AGM to canvas their membership to ensure that they have received input and direction from their members with respect to proposed By-Law changes;

Therefore be it resolved that By-Law 13.1.4.1 be amended as follows:

13.1.4.1 No By-Law shall be enacted, repealed or amended by an Annual General Meeting unless:

(b) details of the proposed changes were provided to all members not later than four (4) six (6) weeks prior to an Annual General Meeting.

Resolutions Sub-Committee Comment:  The proposed resolution would reduce the time needed by the Resolutions Sub-Committee to consult with members and for the processing of resolutions (translation and posting), as per By-Law 13.1.4.1, which states that "No By-Law shall be enacted, repealed or amended by a General Meeting unless details of proposed changes were submitted to the Office of the Executive Secretary no later than twelve (12) weeks prior to a General Meeting".
