Constitutional Amendments 2024

Summary of proposed amendments

  • Amendment A: AMEND Non-for-profit Clause (Section 1.3, previously 5.5)
  • Amendment B: AMEND General Meeting notice and quorum requirements (Section 4.5-6)
  • Amendment C: ADD Returning Officers duties (Section 4.1)
  • Amendment D: ADD GEDI Officer duties (Section 3.2)
  • Amendment E: AMEND Membership Termination (Section 2.6)
  • Amendment F: REMOVE CSESoc CompClub Affiliation (Section 5.13)
  • Amendment G: ADD Secretary duties (Section 3.2)
  • Amendment H: AMEND Full Membership Definition (Section 2.1)
  • Amendment I: AMEND Finance Institution

Reasoning

Amendments A-E are to comply with Arc re-affiliation rules. The full reasoning for these amendments can be found here.

Amendment F: CSESoc CompClub is no longer an entity affiliated with CSESoc. CSESoc and CompClub formally split last year as CompClub established Arc affiliation.

Amendment G: To guarantee that a person on the Executive team ensures the Society complies with new self-review tax legislation for non-for-profits AND has the tools to do so (i.e. ABN and ABR authorisation), something that was found to be lost along the chain of Execs since 2018!

Amendment H: To guarantee that all CSE students are full members (and able to run for executive/vote). At the moment, membership is unnecessarily hardcoded for particular undergraduate CSE degrees, not accounting for the fact that new programs might be introduced by the school (i.e. https://handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2025/3777)
