(technical nitpick, IMO it's best to avoid the word "motion"
- as defined in our Constitution, "motions" can only occur in properly
  covened Meetings
  - circular correspondence can discuss issues, but it cannot decide them
  - there is one Section 24.5 exception, but it's not called a "motion"
  - Similarly, best to avoid overloading the Constitutionally-defined
    term "policy"
)

I believe that means 10 shares of $30.06:
- 5 for the UCC
- ([NTU] [DAA] [MSH] [MTL] [ZAR]) should get about that amount to UCC soon
  - https://www.ucc.asn.au/member/2020/ has bank details
  - the following is an option: `dispense glasgow`
