Agenda
======

1) Review minutes from 2015 AGM
2) Statement from the Chair (year's review)
3) Old business
4) Receive a current financial statement from the Treasurer
5) Amendments
6) Elect the Executive
7) New business

All positions on the Executive are open for re-election: Two
Co-chairs, Treasurer, Secretary, and up to three Members-at-Large.

If you're unable to attend the AGM in person you can designate someone
as a proxy to make nominations and vote for you. If you'd like to run
for a position on the Executive you can nominate yourself, by proxy if
need be.

You must be a paid-up member of Fair Vote Canada to vote or be on the
Executive, but we'll accept membership fees at the meeting ($25 for
returning members, $10 for a first-time member)


Again this year I'd like make a motion to amend our constitution that
some Executive positions be extended to two-year terms:

"To provide continuity on the Executive, the positions for Co-Chair,
Secretary and Treasurer should be two-year terms, with one Co-Chair and
Secretary alternating with the other Co-Chair and Treasurer.
Members-At-Large would continue to serve one-year terms."

Note that voting procedures for electing the Executive may need to be
modified to accommodate a pool of two-year candidates and a pool of
one-year candidates. Approved amendments take force immediately, so we
can actually run this year's election for two two-year positions
(Co-chair and Treasurer?) and five one-year positions (the other
Co-chair, Secretary and up to three Members-at-large). The next year the
other Co-chair and Secretary will be elected for a two-year position.

See you at the meeting!


- -- Bob Jonkman,
Co-chair, Fair Vote Waterloo
