2015-06-26 OCF Board of Directors Meeting (special session) (virtual meeting) Transcription by ckuehl.

We need to amend our constitution to be compliant with the LEAD Center's constitution template and to be a registered student organization for Fall 2015 (important for a bunch of reasons).

At the end of last semester, BoD consisted of:

  • ckuehl
  • kpengboy
  • mattmcal
  • nickimp
  • peterwu
  • tmochida
  • willh

We can only amend our Constitution during a General Meeting. Instead, we will provisionally amend it, and later revisit the amendments during a General Meeting, at which time they can be revised or officially approved.

A 2/3 majority (5, in this case) is required to approve a constitutional amendment.

The proposal, written by kpengboy, is to:

  • Update section 2.2.1 to match exactly the wording required by the LEAD Center.
  • Update section 8.1.3 similarly.
  • Repeal section 3.1.2 which is now redundant given section 2.2.1.

A diff of the content (excluding formatting and dates):

 ##### 2.2.1 Eligibility
-Active membership status is restricted to currently registered students,
-faculty, and staff. Only active members may vote or hold office.
