I was just reading through the agenda items and notice that the item at 7.2.1 [[Proposal:Increase committee size]] states that it can only be considered if 7.2 passes, that is incorrect. The proposal is only necessary if 7.1 fails which are the new model rules as they specify in Division 2 section 43.e ''upto 5 ordinary committee members''(one more than I suggested) and in Division 4 section 62.2 defines a quorum as being ''the majority of the committee members holding office.''(no officer bearer attendence required like I suggested) [[User:Gnangarra|Gnan]][[User_talk:Gnangarra|garra]] 23:45, 9 November 2012 (EST)

Some things that should be done before the AGM

  1. Audit of financial statement for 2011-12

Audited financial statement 2011-12

Note that an audited financial statement for 2010-11 will be presented at this AGM.

We will have a financial statement for 2011-12 prepared soon. However the audit of the financial statement for 2011-12 hasn't started yet, and could take some time which means that date of the AGM needs to be set as late as possible in order to ensure the Audit is completed.

It is not unusual for members to demand that an audited financial statement for the previous year be presented at the AGM, so I would like members to indicate whether or not they feel this is necessary. John Vandenberg 15:35, 21 August 2012 (EST)

I'd certainly like a financial statement (I'm probably less concerned about whether or not it is audited -- but we have to do that anyway as an incorporated association, I presume). Kerry Raymond 08:15, 23 August 2012 (EST)

We submitted an unaudited financial statement for 2010-11 at the 2011 AGM. I dont think it is mandatory for the fin. statement to be audited, but I would love a more authoritative answer. The public officer has been in communications with CAV, and they are 'requesting' that we submit an audited 2011-12 financial statement to the members at the upcoming AGM. I am not sure how stridently they are 'requesting' it, and whether we have any recourse against strident requests of this kind. If it is mandatory, then we'll need to set the AGM at the latest possible date. John Vandenberg 17:04, 23 August 2012 (EST)

This was discussed at Meeting:Public (2012-09-02).

  • I would like the audit done before the AGM, I think that's best practice. Even if it delays the AGM somewhat. --99of9 20:08, 2 September 2012 (EST)

This was discussed at Meeting:Public_(2012-10-07) and a date of 25 November proposed.

  • I can confirm that at this stage the audit for the 2011 figures has been completed and will be presented at the AGM. The audit for the 2012 figures is currently in process. I would like to have the 2012 figures ready in time to present at the AGM as well, but we are not legally required to present audited figures this year as our revenues were below the minimum threshold. Lankiveil 22:56, 15 November 2012 (EST).

Election software

I have added a paragraph about election software on the AGM page.[1] A report was written after the last AGM. See Election Report - 2011-2012 WMAU Committee Nominations and Voting. We need to make a decision on this quickly. I have put election software on the Agenda for the 21 October committee meeting; any software needs to have been published before then. John Vandenberg 21:27, 8 October 2012 (EST)

Agenda item

As per requiremnts User:Gnangarra/Proposal:Increase committee size has been seconded and has recieved the required committee member approval to proceed. Can someone please move it to the proposal namespace and add it to the AGM agenda. Thank you Gnangarra 20:38, 25 October 2012 (EST)

Agenda Item 7

I was just reading through the agenda items and notice that the item at 7.2.1 Proposal:Increase committee size states that it can only be considered if 7.2 passes, that is incorrect. The proposal is only necessary if 7.1 fails which are the new model rules as they specify in Division 2 section 43.e upto 5 ordinary committee members(one more than I suggested) and in Division 4 section 62.2 defines a quorum as being the majority of the committee members holding office.(no officer bearer attendence required like I suggested) Gnangarra 23:45, 9 November 2012 (EST)

That because the new model rules say that the number of ordinary members will be determined at each SGM. Please confirm. John Vandenberg 04:44, 16 November 2012 (EST)
