Proposal: Allow notice by email, phone

At this year’s AGM, we’ll vote on any changes to our local constitution. I propose the following two amendments:

Proposed amendment 2014-1: Amend ¶11 of the constitution as follows:

11. The Executive must set the date for the nomination meeting. The Executive shall provide notice to all members of the EDA by regular mail, postmarked no later than 30 days prior to the nomination meeting.

Proposed amendment 2014-2: Amend ¶15 of the constitution as follows:

15. This constitution may be amended by a 75% vote of approval with at least 10% of the members present at a general meeting, except that no change may be considered by the meeting unless notice of the change proposed has been given to the members by regular mail postmarked at least 2 weeks prior to the date of the general meeting.

Every vote should count

This movement is gaining momentum!  Sign the declaration.

Liberals increased their share of the popular vote by 1% over the 2011 election and receive 100% of the power.  How Ontario voted: LIB 39%, PC 31%, NDP 24%, GR 5%; what Ontario got: LIB 55%, PC 25%, NDP 20%.  Sign the Declaration of Voter's Rights.  www.fairvote.ca
