2. Rule 2 be renamed Rule 2a, and all references to Rule 2 be updated to refer to Rule 2a.

Membership

3. Membership of the LUG is formalised by completing a membership form. Payment of the yearly fees must be received within 3 months of this, or the membership is deemed void. (Rule 3)

4. Membership is for the period between AGMs. -- Do we need to consider pro-rata fees ? If someone wants to join halfway through the year, should we require only 50% of the fee? (Rule 3)

Committee

5. The size of the committee be amended so that there are the 4 executive members (President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and 5 (five) others. (Rule 7)

6. The position of List Maintainer be clarified (Rule 7)

7. Commitee meetings - currently the Charter states that the committee will hold a meeting at the same time as the regular meeting. This needs to be amended or removed

Quora ('I want discussion on the values - is 50%/15 people ok?)

8. At a committee meeting, a quorum shall be 50% of the committee ('do we mean 4 or 5 people, if we have a 9 person committee?'). (Rule 6)

8. At a SGM, a quorum shall be 50% of the society membership, or 15 people, whichever is smaller. (Rule 5,6)

10. At an AGM, a quorum shall be 50% of the society membership, or 15 people, who were fully paid up members in the previous year and who have expressed intent to continue. ('This means, new members dont get a say, people who dont want to carry on dont get a say').

Other:

11. Rephrase the section on membership to highlight that membership is not required for attendance to meetings or usage of the mailing list. It's not as clear as it could be at the moment.

12. Any other minor typos as we find them (I noticed a few spelling mistakes)
