[UK-TUG] Additional statements in support of motions

[Joseph Wright]

Dear Member,

In order to encourage the highest possible turnout in voting on AGM 
motions by members who cannot attend, I have invited proposers to submit 
additional statements in support of their motions. I will circulate 
those shortly.

As a reminder, voting electronically on motions is possible by email to 
me (joseph.wright at morningstar2.co.uk) up to the start of the AGM (14:00 
on Saturday). There are seven motions before the AGM:

1. That the membership fee for new member in 2020 be £10, and that there
    be no fee for membership renewal.
    (Proposed by Joseph Wright as Secretary)

2. That there be a Special General Meeting in May or June 2020, whose
    sole purpose is to discuss motions related to the dissolution of
    UK-TUG.
    (Proposed by Jonathan Fine)

3. That the incoming committee give details to members within three
    months of how UK-TUG continues to operate in accord with the
    constitution.
    (Proposed by Jay Hammond)

4. That the incoming committee give details to members within three
    months of how UK-TUG continues to promote TeX use, particularly with
    reference to the community beyond current members.
    (Proposed by Jay Hammond)

5. That if the incoming committee is unable to address actions from
    Motions 3 and 4, the committee will call a special general meeting
    (SEGM) to take place between 80 days and 110 days after the AGM. The
    SEGM should consider a motion to dissolve UK-TUG plus other motions
    which may be tabled in the fashion described by the Constitution. The
    motion to dissolve must include details of how UK-TUG material will
    be archived and where residual funds will be distributed.
    (Proposed by Jay Hammond)

6. That UK-TUG should be dissolved.
    (Proposed by David Carlisle)

7. That if Motion 6 is passed, any remaining funds after liabilities
    have been discharged should be distributed to TUG and DANTE to
    further support TeX activities.
    (Proposed by David Carlisle)

Regards,

Joseph Wright
Secretary, UK-TUG
