WLUG AGM

ANNOUNCEMENT: Annual General Meeting, 22nd November

In accordance with Rule 6 of the charter, I would like to announce to all members that the Waikato Linux Users Group (Incorporated) will be holding its Annual General Meeting on Monday, 22 November, 2010, at 7pm, at the regular meeting location of Room MS4.G.02

Several officers and committee members will be stepping down this year. Society membership has also gone down recently. Present and past members interested in seeing WLUG continue as an IncorporatedSociety are encouraged to attend this years AGM to meet quorum requirements and stand for election.

If a quorum is established and new officers step forward, a bylaw change is proposed to be voted on. Please see the WlugCharterDiscussion for more details.

Note:

To be eligible to vote at the meeting you must have previously been a financial member (although not necessarily for the 2010 year) and pay your membership for 2011 at or before the AGM.

To be eligible to vote or stand for office at the AGM members must have paid a subscription for the 2010 year before the AGM. If you'd like to stand for committee and have not paid for membership this year, please do this at the October Meeting or November SaturdayWorkshop.

An amendment about who can vote at the meeting was passed in 2008.

"That the WLUG charter be amended to allow former paid members of the WLUG of good standing, whose membership has lapsed, to vote at an AGM of the WLUG with the proviso that they rejoin the WLUG and pay a new subscription at or before the AGM."
