From e745903730367d1483c37e540e19b5661c03dd2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oli Lenehan Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2024 16:51:40 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] amendment: 2024-A4 Clubs Manager Co-signatory to prevent deadlock with Activate Policy (Primary Signatories) (#15) # Rationale - This is to bring practice in-line with current ActivateUTS policies and procedures. - The constitution currently mentions Secretary (now CEO), but they will only act in extraordinary circumstances... - According to ActivateUTS policy, there must be one "Primary Signatory" (Pres or *as elected*; not for the time being or acting) for every transaction; - Basically this ensures a UTS student is accountable, as President + Treasurer must be students at time of election according to Activate. - If either Primary signatory are absent, we would need the Clubs Manager to co-sign to approve the transaction otherwise it would be blocked (and therefore unable to resolve any debts). Despite the constitution investing transaction ability in any two trustees. - A vote by the Executive Committee to request the Clubs Manager's signature would resolve the 'crisis' --- CONSTITUTION.md | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/CONSTITUTION.md b/CONSTITUTION.md index 2599cd7..2ac48e0 100644 --- a/CONSTITUTION.md +++ b/CONSTITUTION.md @@ -153,7 +153,11 @@ The Trustees shall maintain a bank account in the name of and on behalf of the S ### 6.4.
