5.6. Proxy votes - these have been abused in the past - I would add : "A member attending the meeting will have a maximum of 2 proxy votes ( 3 if travelling more than 100 miles to meeting)"
12.3.2. Election of President, Executive Directors, Directors and other positions from the Individual members willing to serve - Some people have performed poorly in the past - I would put " All posts will be elected for a 1-year term"
I see no mention of selection oversight post which I am happy with
Although not a constitutional issue - the issue of " all adult Scottish Champions must be SCO affiliated " should be voted on.
I probably can't make meeting on 21st May so please cast my vote for the above points in my absence.
For the recrod, I disagree on both these points.
1) Of course there is no reason to limit number of proxys that 1 member may represent - just follow normal corporate governance here.
2) 1 year is not long enough. I'd say limit the top job to 3 or 5 years but beyond that, in an small organisation run by volunteers, it is not helpful to add further restrictions to terms of office.
