  Anonymous: Article 4 requires CFUW to be a member of IFUW (now called GWI)

  CFUW St. Thomas proposed a motion to delete Article 4 of the CFUW (national) constitution.

  Anonymous: Here is a copy of CFUW (national) “Articles and Bylaws”

  a.k.a. The Constitution.

  See page 4, Article 4 —  The one CFUW St. Thomas proposes we delete.

  Anonymous: Are the members of CFUW Burlington in favour of the motion to delete Article 4 of the CFUW (national) constitution or opposed to it? 

  in favour = delete the requirement for CFUW to belong to IFUW

  opposed = status quo i.e. CFUW membership in IFUW is required.

  There will be discussion and a vote at our April General Meeting.

  If you can’t be there, you may send your proxy vote in writing as per

  CFUW Burlington Bylaw VII 4 c below 

  Bylaw VII – Meetings

  4. Quorum:
  

  a) Those members present at a General Meeting at the time of the vote shall constitute a quorum.

  b) A majority of the Membership of the Executive Committee shall constitute a quorum for an Executive Committee meeting.

  c) Proxy votes may be registered in writing with the President.

  Deleted user: Can I register my proxy vote re: the St. Thomas Chapter resolution to opt out of IFUW ?

  If this is an acceptable way to do so, I give my vote (in proxy form).

  I do NOT support the proposition that CFUW withdraw from IFUW.
