I agree about spelling, but I think it is exactly vague enough.<br>

You haven't commented on the other change <br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hi all.<br>
While we are changing the constitution,<br>
I suggest we also change the Objects of the club,<br>
to more accurately and clearly reflect our focus.<br>
<br>
Current:<br>
<blockquote>The objects of the Club shall be as follows:
<ol>
<li> To be an organised association of students
attending The University of Western Australia, and
supporters, for the advancement of computer science
and technologies, both at the University and in the
broader community. </li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<br>
Advancing computer science and technologies isn't was we do.<br>
We also use them.<br>
<br>
Also computer science is generally taken to be a incredibly
narrow field with in the greater clould of IT/IS/Software
Eng/Sys admin/DBA. etc.<br>
Computer science is more closely related to pure math, than
it is to real most world programming tasks.<br>
CS is a narrow subset of what we do.<br>
<br>
Conversely technologies is much broader than what we do.<br>
While it includes things like coke machine,<br>
it also includes things like Cars, and trains.<br>
<br>
I feel much better wording would be:<br>
<blockquote>The objects of the Club shall be as follows:
<ol>
<li> To be an organised association of students
attending The University of Western Australia, and
supporters, to promote the advancement and use of
computerized technologies, both at the University and
in the broader community. </li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
I think that is much clearer.<br>
