[UK-TUG] Structure of the SGM

[Jay Hammond]

Hi,

I've told all motion proposers that compositing is UKTUG committee 
business, and I have invited proposers ( includes JF) to attend 
committee, under committee rules to do compositing.

I do not intend to be at JF's compositing venue. And like it or not, 
input from the committee is necessary. The committee has to shape the 
SGM to be suitable for the motions, but the motions need to be fit for 
the SGM. That's not possible if the SGM rules/structure are not put in 
place. Probably by negotiation.

If you are a proposer and have not been invited, my apologies for the 
oversight, and please consider yourself invited. Do you wish to 
composite? (fix the motions so they are fit to put to members at the 
SGM. the words and structure may be  changed but not the theme and intent. )

I do not know where JF expects to get the membership list from. I don't 
have access to it myself.  The (membership) secretary sets up gatekeeper 
software for e.g.UKTUG-Announce.
