Please let me know if I'm missing anything. A motion to call the Directors election on the 19th was passed at the last meeting, so no further vote will need to be taken.

It will not be a constitutional amendment but a bylaw amendment.

Thanks for the correction.

I've added two new motions. I hope that the removal of three committees will redeem me for proposing the creation of another...

I move that coppro be appointed as Returning Officer

Added.

One of my conclusions as the only active member of the Select Committee on Electoral Strategy was that funding be allocated to my own riding. Because of the apparent conflict of interest in this matter, I have added a motion to defer the report until I am able to verify its impartiality by third-party review, and preferably attract more participation in the committee.
