[committee] AGM agenda items

[Davyd Madeley]

While these seem like respectable points for discussion, need they be
done at the AGM?

Most of the points here are implied, and are simply a matter of bad
management rather then bad policy.

This need only be pointed out more clearly on the top of the form.

Recall also, we our bound by University Guidelines, as well as the
ACS/IEEE codes of ethics as Computing Professionals. If you are carrying
out conduct determined unethical, it is only fair that you should be
sanctioned accordingly, even if our rules do not account for this.

I don't think we need policy on this. Informing members (possibly by an
alternate email address) is already understood as good conduct. Any
further policy would only get ignored.

I think this is currently implied.

How can they not be informed? Adding someone to a group is logged in the
auth log. This is technologically redundant.

Wheel maintains it's own membership. Committee has little to do with the
membership of Wheel. It is assumed that if a Wheel member repeatedly
acted unethically, then someone could bring that grivance to the
committee, and then Committee could deal with it. Resultantly, the
committee should have no place dictating membership policy to Wheel.

I think this is also currently implied. Anyone who is not a member gets
their account locked. Some people, who were UCC members before we were
born, have been let slide, on the basis that they usually pay up a
couple of years here and there.
