Proposing Policies and you!
Deal with this: https://vanhack.ca/doku.php?id=admin:the_proposal_process
Our Bylaws allow us to adopt Policies and Procedures that the membership is required to follow (see sections 2.2 and 2.5).
Proposals for Policies or Procedures must be submitted to the membership in the Members Only/QGM area of our Talk forum.
Proposals require the support of a minimum of two members. See Section 81(1) of the societies act.
The proposal must:
- Contain the proposers names
- Contain the full and final text of the proposal.
- Be submitted with proper notice (two weeks before the meeting, as defined in our bylaws)
- Not be changed once the notice of the meeting has gone out.
- Be less than 200 words, if the proposed motion excedes this, please attach it to the motion as a schedule ie: “I want to propose we adopt the policy “bar” as attached as schedule “foo””
- Be consistent with the existing Bylaws and Policies and Procedures of the Society (see 2.5 of our Bylaws)
Notices of members meetings should include the text of all proposals to be considered at that meeting.
For example:
John Doe and Jane Smith would like to propose the following Policy:
