*The Board proposes to remove that portion of the section that is '''bolded'''. The section’s current wording is: <i>“Members in Good Standing, Regular Members '''who have been members for at least one calendar month''' and any honorary members shall be considered members in good standing. '''A regular member who has lapsed for no more than six months shall also be considered a member in good standing immediately upon payment of their dues.'''”</i> | *The Board proposes to remove that portion of the section that is '''bolded'''.

'''A regular member who has lapsed for no more than six months shall also be considered a member in good standing immediately upon payment of their dues.'''”</i> This amendment will broaden the category of “Members in Good Standing” and as a result, the number of eligible candidates for the Board the Directors. This will help avoid the exclusion of any potential candidates as a result of failing to have renewed or signed up for their membership prior to the Annual General Meeting. | ||
