[committee] Draft Constitution 1.5

[bob at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au]

Hi All,

I have completed what I think is a constitution that is sufficient for  
UCC to incorporate.

First, let me explain _some_ of the changes since the last revision:
A. General Meetings Quorum; increased quorum for a general meeting to  
15. Numbers at general meetings have never been a problem afaik, and  
this prevents committee plus just 2 others from being able to change  
the constitution.
B. Objects; removed point 3 and altered point 4 to cover 'any person or body'
C. Amendments to the Constitution; got rid of crap I added earlier  
such as 'change of name' rules, this is covered by the Associations  
Act 1987 and is unlikely to ever be relevant to the club.
D. Cancellation of Membership; 22.2 was reworded to make the reading  
of it much moar easy.

Now it's time for the review process, and there are quite a few other  
sets of rules we must also comply with. I need other people to check  
it! There is a list of documents that are relevant and we must comply  
with at the top of the attached document. I would appreciate it if you  
could take some time to check everything complies. We also need to  
check pedantic things like spelling and grammer.

If you have any changes to make, please email them to the list, don't  
edit the document directly, as I have spent a lot of time getting the  
formatting right.

I hope to get this out to ucc-announce at least a week before the SGM,  
so please don't drag your feet.

Cheers, Bob
