Section 12 – Stays

Section 12 – Stays

12.6 All positions able to be voted on at an Election which are created at the EGM prior to the AGM in the same calendar year (‘the position’) are subject to a period in which a MULS member may alter the Constitutional provisions affecting that position by way of motion at the AGM in that same year (‘transitory period’).

12.7 If the MULS Board or any MULS Board Member receives notice, prior to the opening of nominations for the Election, that a motion will be raised at the AGM intending to alter a position (‘the motion’) which was created at the EGM of that same year, the MULS Secretary must move at a Board Meeting prior to nominations opening to stay the election of that role, pending the outcome of the motion at the AGM (‘special resolution’). The special resolution has the same meaning and effect as Special Resolution in the MULS Constitution. Nothing in this clause is intended to mean that the MULS Board must vote in favour of the special resolution.

a. If the special resolution does not receive the support of the Board, any member wishing to nominate for the position shall warrant that they understand that the position is subject to change or could be removed from the Constitution all together.

12.8 If the motion is successful at the AGM, and the position is altered, the position shall be filled in the ordinary fashion for resolving casual vacancies under the MULS Constitution.

12.9 If the motion is successful for the removal of the position, then no further action shall be taken to the extent that the motion involves the election of the position.

12.10 Nominees who place a nomination for any of the positions subject to clause 12.6 - 12.9 above will automatically be entered into the running for election on a casual vacancy basis – no separate nomination is required.
