Special General Meeting - Constitutional Vote - 28-30 Nov 2019
After a slow nomination period, the NZOSS' Special General Meeting has been rescheduled for 28-30 November. We have now got five nominees for NZOSS Council's five seats, plus the two incumbents for the Executive are standing again, uncontested.
The nominees are 3 incumbent Councillors:
- Danny Adair
- Steven Ellis
- Carl Klitscher (current Secretary and Treasurer as well!)
2 new Councillors:
- Jo Allum
- Eliot Blennerhassett
and the two current Executive:
- Tim McNamara (Vice President)
- Dave Lane (President)
(note: the roles of Secretary and Treasurer are appointed)
All are unopposed, meaning we will not require an election.
We do, however, have a substantially rewritten (still being drafted - join us in #Constitution on https://chat.nzoss.nz if you would like to be involved) Constitution for the Society on which we require a vote of 75% of a quorum of financial members in support to ratify its adoption.
We would love to have 100% participation from our voting members!
The voting period for the Special General Meeting will be from 8am Thu
28 until 12 noon Sat 30 Nov 2019. We will provide both a link to the
Constitution to financial members for your review 2 weeks prior to the
election period.
Please note: this will not be a secret ballot, strictly speaking -
administrators of the NZOSS' survey.nzoss.nz system are able to
determine the identify of voters, although they will be avoiding doing so.
If you would like to have a say in that Constitutional ratification, you
can become a financial member now on https://members.nzoss.nz
