[UK-TUG] Notice of Special Electronic General Meeting

[Joseph Wright]

Dear Member,

The Committee has called a Special Electronic General Meeting (SEGM) of 
UK-TUG, to run from 29/11/2010 (00:01) to 05/12/2010 (23:59), inclusive. 
Attendance of members at the recent AGM was not sufficient to hold a 
formal vote on the motions put to that meeting, and an SEGM is therefore 
being held to allow voting to take place.

Motions
-------

Three motions are to be considered at the SEGM:

1) That this meeting approves the accounts for 2009–10.

2) That this meeting delegates authority to appoint an inspector for the 
2010–11 accounts to the Committee, who shall decide after taking advice 
from the Treasurer.

3) That the membership fee for 2011 be £10 for all individual members 
(apart from life members), and that there be no additional entrance fee.

As previously detailed, these motions are all necessary for the day to 
day administration of UK-TUG. At the AGM, informal discussion about all 
three took place and the members present indicated their support for all 
of the motions.

Discussion
----------

Discussion at the SEGM should take place on the 'announce' mailing list
(uktug-announce at tug.org). Messages posted by members to this list 
concerning the SEGM will be sent out to all members.

Voting
------

Voting on the motions for the SEGM will take place by members posting to 
the 'committee' e-mail address (uktug-committee at uk.tug.org). In contrast 
to discussion e-mails, these votes will only be seen by the committee. 
For each motion, members should indicate whether they are voting FOR, 
AGAINST a motion, or ABSTAIN from voting. Votes will only be counted if 
received by the Committee via uktug-committee at uk.tug.org during the time 
frame of the SEGM.

Start of the SEGM
-----------------

An e-mail will be sent to the 'announce' list the day before the SEGM 
starts. This will include a voting form for the three motions to be 
considered. Please note that this will not be for 28 days, as required 
by the Constitution.

Regards,

Joseph Wright
UK-TUG Secretary
