Constitutional Compliance / Notice of Meeting:
Notice of the 2010 SASFED AGM was given at the combined Board & Committee meeting (a General Meeting) of SASFED on the 31st of August 2010 and was set for Tuesday the 26th of October 2010. The SASFED Secretary released minutes of this meeting on the 20th September 2010 to the full board & committee.
In this meeting notice was given of a proposal to amend the SASFED constitution to the Committee. Since the Committee represents Membership of the Federation, notice of the AGM and Suggested Changes to the Constitution was given at least 30 days prior to the proposed AGM as required by Clause 21.2 of the current SASFED constitution.
The Board felt that more time was needed to ensure the SASFED constitution was properly re-written before the AGM, and to allow notice of the AGM to reach a broader interest group. As such it was recently decided to POSTPONE the date of the AGM from the originally called date of Tuesday the 26th of October 2010, and the Committee & Board unanimously agreed on a new date of Tuesday the 9th November 2010. This notice of the postponed meeting is therefore two weeks ahead of the meeting as required by Cause 15.1.10 of the current constitution and attached is also notice of the suggested amended constitution, together with the Agenda as required by Clause 21.1 of the current constitution.
