This clause currently does not have a provision for re-creating positions on General Committee when members resign or are removed. It only allows positions to be created at a GM, be left unfilled at that GM, and be later filled by (was Society, now is Management Committee). Did you want to add a clause allowing Management Committee to create new General Committee positions?

Replace "the number of members of the Management Committee needed to constitute quorum of a General Meeting of the Society" with "half (1/2) the total number of members on the Management Committee". (Otherwise, you'll need more votes than it's possible to have committee members)

exceeds twice the number of votes of the members of the Management Committee.

Should be "exceeds twice the number of votes of the members of the Management Committee against." (Otherwise you'll need more votes than you have votes)

* any informality or irregularity with the elections must be brought to the attention of the Clubs and Societies Administration Officer within fourteen (14) days of the election.

I'd recommend including a time frame for this clause, such as:

9.5 If four (4) or more members of the Management Committee have resigned or been removed from office since the previous General Meeting, a General Meeting shall be convened by the secretary by sending out notice of the meeting within fourteen (14) days.

Also: must be called for what reason? What business should be transacted at that meeting?


9.5 If a member of the Management Committee fails to attend any meetings of the Management Committee for three (3) consecutive calendar months in which at least one (1) quorate meeting was held in each calendar month, that person's membership of the Management Committee shall be terminated.

I think you need to renumber these clauses as well, to fit the new 9.5 in


9.6 There is no right of appeal against a member's removal from the Management Committee under this section.
