[committee] Fwd: UCC Special General Meeting Called by Ordinary Members

[Oscar Hermoso]

Hi secretary@, committee@,

We would formally like to call for a Special General Meeting with the
following agenda:

- A discussion and vote to reduce the size of UCC committee
- A full re-election of all roles to fill the newly restructured committee

We as members who are moving for this change would like to stress that the
removal of any roles is due to the belief that both a smaller committee
size would encourage greater engagement from each committee member, and
also that this change is not due to a failure of any specific committee
members.

This has been requested by the following ordinary members (matching the
whiteboard);
-  [CHS] Oscar Hermoso
-  [JWB] William Chestnut
-  [TPG] John Hodge
-  [BOB] Andrew 'Bob' Adamson
-  [KAT] Catherine Coetzer
-  [DIE] Cam Locke
-  [BIG] Nicholas Coetzer
-  [EAR] Elton Rodrigues
-  [NRZ] Lewis Graham
-  [LE@] Elliot Nunn
-  [TFM] Thomas Miller
-  [TFD] Timothy Davies
-  [CFE] Zack Wong
-  [MLG] Grace Rosario
-  [PBJ] John Nguyen
-  [BLZ] Cain Nixey

Kind regards,

Oscar Hermoso
[CHS]
