[UK-TUG] SEGM, financial scrutiny

[Jay Hammond]

@Chris_Weeks

My suggestion is that the (SE)GM appoint a scrutineer, not to store 
(and show) the bank statements, but instead to look at the accounts 
and point out any areas of concern. This requires someone with a 
suitable level of skill.

Motion 4 proposes  a scrutineer to store and show the bank 
statements.

you are correct, there's no motion or amendment on the table 
corresponding to my suggestion. So,

An amendment to motion 4 or a new motion:

Under constitution clause 24.3(c) this general meeting agrees to 
appoint a financial scrutineer whose duties will be to look at 
UKTUG's accounts for the year 2011/12 and offer an opinion on them to 
be submitted to the next AGM.

But I don't know what the procedure is...


@UKTUGChair

Dear Chair, please suggest how my proposal can be voted on. It's not 
clear whether the members are expected to amend motion 4 and then 
approve the amended motion, or whether they are expected supply a new 
motion 5  and vote on that.

Also, Motions 4 and 5 depend on the outcome of motion 3.  The voting 
on motion 3 cannot be known until after the SEGM. What procedure do 
you have to activate these motions appropriately? Please clarify.
