Proposal: Adopt 2012 model rules

{{proposal|member1=John Vandenberg|member2=Graham87}}

This proposal is to adopt the [[2012 model rules]], and hold an SGM to make any necessary amendments.

Our previous rule amendments have largely been incorporated into the new model rules:
* Electronic participation in meetings {{done}} (i.e. red throughout the current rules)
* Electronic verification of identity (i.e. 29(3))
* Removal of application form from the rules {{done}} (i.e. Green parts of current rule 4; rule 9 of the new rules)
* Committee age restriction {{done}} (i.e. Red in current rule 20; rule 48 of the new rules)
* Removal of inactive committee member {{done}} (i.e. non-attendance to three consecutive meetings) They have taken our wording precisely, but also added Rule 66 which defines leave of absence.
* Ability to nominate for one office and the ordinary member election; order of ballot {{done}}
* Electronic voting using open source code : {{not done}} NOT ALLOWED in model rules (ballot must be a paper based secret8 ballot) however this is not prohibited by [http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/num_act/aira201220o2012422/sch1.html schedule 1] ({{question}} Does the [http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/num_act/aira201220o2012422/ new Act] have anything to say about this?  John cant see anything explicit, except that [http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/num_act/aira201220o2012422/s62.html the rule that allows electronic participation] may mean the voting must be done during the election rather than before it.)
* Winding up - transfer to a similar non-profit {{done}} Rule 75
* Explicitly not for profit - {{not done}}  This could be covered by the inclusion of our [[wmau:SOP]] into the new Rule 2.

== Potential issues ==
Significant new problems arising:
* Committee members must reside in Australia.(new Rule 48)
* membership must be minuted. Minutes dont need to be public, but access to non-public minutes must be given to members.
*:Protocols for member access to internal minutes are needed.
*:This is the exact same problem as the existing problem that thee 'register of members' being available to members.

Minor new problems arising
* Under 15yo must be recorded as associate-non voting member: we dont have any under 15yo members.  Solution: dont accept members under 15yo - the rules allow rejection without reason minuted, so we dont break privacy in doing this.
* proxy appointment must be signed. Scan should suffice, but it means an email isnt sufficient.
