Hi,
I don't know when this was changed on the website, but it should read 2
ordinary members. There was a motion passed at the previous AGM (2008) to
suggest that 5 ordinary committee members be allowed, which was what we had -
until one resigned mid-term.
This led to discussion about how the constitution would be subject to change,
and it was put and passed at the last AGM (EAGM) that the constitution would
revert to the previous version of '2 ordinary committee members', with the
implied clarification of 'no more, no less, than two.'
I'll ask that the website maintainer look through the version history of the
constitution page, and verify that the change was made - and further, to
restore the constitution back to its former writing stating that 2 ordinary
members shall be the required number for the committee.
Apologies for not noticing that the webpage had been updated in the interim.
Best regards,
-->Gar
