Original rule 7.3:
7.3听听听 The committee will consist of:
a) the Officers as specified below,
b) up to [15] ordinary members elected annually from members of the Branch.听听 听
c) up to [2] members co-opted by the annual general meeting or by the committee who will serve to the end of the term of office of other committee members.
d) any member of the Branch who is a member of the National Executive Committee of UCU.
Proposed changes to rule 7.3
In 7.3(c), change 2 to 4, and replace "by the annual general meeting or by the committee" with "by a majority vote at a quorate general meeting".
Rule 7.3(c) would then read
c) up to [4] members co-opted by a majority vote at a quorate general meeting who will serve to the end of the term of office of other committee members.
Rationale: I think that if we are to increase the number of co-optees we should have a safeguard that formally co-opting members of the committee is something in the hands of members at a general meeting, not the committee acting alone. In practical terms, potential co-optees could attend committee meetings as observers prior to ratification by a GM vote.
Result: Carried (89% for; 4% against; 7% abstentions)
Rule 7.3 updated:
7.3听听听 The committee will consist of:
a) the Officers as specified below,
b) up to [15] ordinary members elected annually from members of the Branch.听听 听
c) up to [4] members co-opted by a majority vote at a quorate general meeting who will serve to the end of the term of office of other committee members.
d) any member of the Branch who is a member of the National Executive Committee of UCU.
