  • Voting on 7th amendment bill, reproduced as follows: AN ACT To amend the Constitution, for allowing the Board of Directors to unilaterally amend the Constitution for the purpose of complying with LEAD Center requirements.

    WHEREAS, in June 2015 the Open Computing Facility encountered a constitutional crisis in which it was required to amend its Constitution but a General Meeting could not be immediately convened to do so; and WHEREAS, the legal status of the amendments made during that crisis was uncertain until confirmed by a General Meeting; and WHEREAS, the Open Computing Facility wishes to avoid being required to amend its Constitution when it is not formally in session, but being unable to do so; and WHEREAS, constitutional language mandated by the LEAD Center is not substantially debatable; and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors would like to expedite the process of updating such required language, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED by the Board of Directors and the membership of the Open Computing Facility: 1. The current text of section 8.1.1 of the Constitution is moved to a new section 8.1.1.1 titled “In General”. 2. A new section 8.1.1.2, titled “For Fulfilling University Requirements” is inserted into the Constitution as follows: When the OCF is not formally in session, the Board of Directors may, with a 2/3 majority vote, directly enact amendments whose only function is to bring this consti‐ tution into compliance with requirements set by the University.
