1. President’s welcome

MR JOEL ADDISON, President

As was flagged earlier and at the AGM, we need to go through a process of amending our constitution if we want to remain as a not for profit.

The deadline for this process is 30 June 2025

Thank you Russell for the hard work in preparing the necessary changes as a series of pull requests. Thank you to everyone who reviewed and provided feedback on the changes.

Before we vote, is there anything anyone wants to bring up for discussion?

[No issues raised]

Question: Do we have a quorum?
Answer: Yes and everyone in the meeting is qualified to vote as a member of Linux Australia.

We have had nine proxies registered. We will process the vote via a Zoom poll and then add the proxies. It requires a 75% vote in favour for the change to pass.

2. Constitutional Changes

MOTION by Joel Addison that the complete constitution, as set out within the constitution.md file at https://github.com/linuxaustralia/constitution_and_policies/pull/47/files, be adopted.

Seconded by: Neill Cox

Motion raised via Zoom poll

Zoom results: 100% in favour (24 votes cast), plus Russell Stuart and Joel Addison
Proxies: 9 proxies also voted in favour

In total 35 votes and unanimously in favour.

 

We will now send this to the NSW Government to have it officially registered. Once it is registered then we will merge the pull request.

Meeting closed at 20:19 AEST
