ATC AGM ’17 – Changes to our Constitution
As communicated in the email earlier this week, there are changes required to our constitution in order for us to proceed with the formal registration of ATC Multisport as a not for profit voluntary association for public benefit.
All the required changes are listed at the bottom of this email. Items highlighted in green are minor changes or merely the re-arranging of stipulations already in our constitution.
Items highlighted in yellow are additions, deletions or significant changes pertaining to remuneration of officers / staff and stipulations required for compliance to Tax Law. As we go through the process, we may require additional stipulations for compliance. We therefore propose an Addendum, which the committee will use during this process to amend the constitution for compliance. During this time, we may call a Special General Meeting to vote on certain amendments.
Please review the proposed changes and lodge all comments or objections BEFORE the meeting, either by return email or through the RSVP link provided below.
The complete current Constitution as well as the working copy of the proposed constitution can be downloaded from our About Us Page.
