[H-GEN] Humbug 2014 AGM Agenda

[Russell Stuart]

Humbug's 2014 AGM will be held at the next Humbug meeting, which is
Saturday the 25th of October.  It will commence at 5 PM, in room 207 of
the Gordon Greenwood (Building 32).

I encourage you to participate at the AGM.  If you can't attend in
person please lodge a proxy.  It is not difficult to do.  Just send an
email form your usual Humbug email address to admin at lists.humbug.org.au
which looks like this:

  I [your name] wish to nominate [name of person attending the AGM who
  is eligible to vote] as my proxy at the Humbug 2014 AGM.  You may
  contact me on [your phone number] to verify this proxy.

To make it easier you can nominate myself as your proxy.  If you do not
indicate a preference I will use your proxy to vote as follows:

  - To accept the reports from the previous AGM.
  - To accept any constitutional amendments I move.
  - You will abstain on any executive position I am nominated for.

I will decide on the day how to vote executive positions and other
motions that may arise.

The agenda will be as follows:

Midnight Deadline for proxies.  No proxies will be accepted after
         Midnight 24nd Oct 2014 to make bookkeeping on the day easier.

4:45 PM  Attendance sheet is distributed.  All proxies you hold must
         be noted on the attendance sheet.

5:00 PM  Meeting is opened.

5:01 PM  Reports from the current Executive.  These will be a brief
         summary of events in 2014.

5:15 PM  General Business.

5:30 PM  Election of new Executive.

5:45 PM  Close.

After the AGM closes the new committee will commence accepting
membership payments for the 2014/2015 year.  This is traditionally the
time most people renew their membership.

Finally, Humbug needs a motivated and energetic Executive.  At the AGM
people who could fill the roles on the Executive are nominated form the
floor, and if there is more than one nominee for any position we vote on
it.  If you are keen to see things change, or have some ideas or just
think it is time for new blood nominate yourself or someone else for a
position on the Executive.  To nominate for one of the three positions
(President, Secretary, Treasurer) or to second a nomination either send
an email to general at humbug.org.au from your normal Humbug email address,
or do it from the floor the day.

I will be making myself available for all positions.
