Rundown of Changes

BIG THINGS

  1. Replace the role of Social Representative with two new roles: Outreach Coordinator and Marketing Officer.
  2. Replace Representative-At-Large and First Year Representative with a new, non-voting role: Society Volunteer
  3. Remove the role of Hack Frost Rep (Madison, head of Hack Frost, has suggested that it is no longer necessary).
  4. Add the role of Executive Alumni, a non-voting role for former members of the exec who wish to remain in an advisory capacity. We already have this unofficially (Honourary Executive).
  5. Allow any member of the society to be appointed to an empty role, with preference given to Society Volunteers

SMALL THINGS

  1. Add a definition of a “Voting Role”: any role except Society Volunteer and Executive Alumni would be allowed to vote in meetings.
  2. Remove the role of “Representative Advisor”.
  3. Add a rule that if there is only one nominee (incumbent or incoming) for a position, then that nominee shall be acclaimed for that position.
  4. Make an addition to the duties of the Science Society Representative, indicating that they should communicate any items which should be on the agenda at an exec meeting before the meeting so that they can be discussed.
  5. Make an addition to the duties of the Tech Officer, indicating that they are responsible for managing the Discord server, Discord bots, and storing passwords and records relating to their duties.
  6. Change the notice period for an exec meeting to 72 hours (rather than 24), or 24 in case of emergency (previously unspecified)
  7. Change the rules for calling meetings to better specify which months meetings are necessary
  8. Add a restriction for signing authorities that they may not have a “conflict of interest”
