(on committee issues)

NEW MOTION:- any committee member who posts what they believe to be committee and society policy on the BBS, takes the risk of being wrong, and they should consult with other committee members first. If they don't consult with others, and they are in fact wrong in what they say, they will lost BBS posting priveleges for two weeks. The same applies to any committee member who publicly (on the BBS or otherwise), puts down another committee member in relation to society work they do, or claims that they are doing said work wrong. Such matters should be brought to the attention of the committee, and not to the BBS.

The punishment, as said above, is suspension of BBS posting priveleges for two weeks (That is, after the committee have agreed that what was said, or done, was wrong.)

At this point a vote was taken, and the motion was passed by a unanimous vote of all those present.


*Money owed, and debts discussed.
