[Aqualist] the special resolution

[Scott Mooney]

before anyone emails me: the AQUA-list strips any formatting from text… so the Special Resolution is as follows: to change section “10 Membership categories” of our Constitution from:

A Life member is a person who has made an outstanding contribution to Quaternary Studies over a substantial period of years or who has provided exceptional long-term service and support to the Association. A Life membership is proposed by the Committee and must be approved by a general meeting. Life members are not expected to pay fees and may choose to receive any publications produced by the Association. A Life membership cannot be proposed if the number of Life members exceeds 5 percent of the total number of members. A Life member remains a member of the Association for life, unless he or she resigns in accordance with rule 16(1).

A Life member is a person who has made an outstanding contribution to Quaternary Studies over a substantial period of years or who has provided exceptional long-term service and support to the Association. A Life membership is proposed by the Committee and must be approved by a general meeting. Life members are not expected to pay fees and may choose to receive any publications produced by the Association.  A Life member remains a member of the Association for life, unless he or she resigns in accordance with rule 16(1).

to be clear this means deleting “A Life membership cannot be proposed if the number of Life members exceeds 5 percent of the total number of members."
