[H-GEN] HUMBUG AGM 2009

[James Iseppi]

Hi All,

In preparation for the AGM to be held this Saturday the executive has  
prepared an Agenda which is kept on the HUMBUG wiki at http://www.humbug.org.au/AGM2009 
. Any member that wishes to have an issue discussed at the AGM should  
ensure that an item is added to the page either by adding it  
themselves or sending an email to the exec with as much detail as  
possible. Also, if there are any motions that are proposed from these  
discussion items could a complete motion be included under the  
discussion item. This will hopefully allow for the item to be  
discussed more quickly, for voting on motions to be conducted more  
quickly, and therefore shorten the duration of the AGM.

I would also like to ask that all nominations for executive positions  
be made either on that wiki page, the general mailing list or directly  
to the executive at exec at humbug.org.au (which will then be transcribed  
to the wiki by an executive member) before the AGM commences on  
Saturday at 6pm. This will hopefully make the process of nominations  
and voting on the night much simpler. I will still call for  
nominations on the night, but I hope these will be the exception  
rather than the rule.

If you would like to nominate a proxy for your vote at the AGM please  
send an email to exec at humbug.org.au and cc the intended proxy with the  
details as soon as possible. Proxies for the AGM will be accepted by  
the executive if they are received by the mailman software on  
excalibur (HUMBUG's mailing list server) by 5:30pm AEST on Saturday  
night. Paper proxies will be accepted by the executive up until the  
start of the AGM. As per the constitution of the club, "an eligible  
Financial Member may proxy his voting rights for one Special General  
Meeting by providing the president, vice-president, or secretary with  
signed written notice of their intent. This may be in physical, or  
authenticated electronic form."

Thanks

James Iseppi
HUMBUG President
