Subject: ?

Notice of Motion - Amendment to committee terms

Date: ?

15 June, 2004

Notice of Motion

At the September 2004 meeting of Senate, the following item will be placed on the

agenda for consideration by Senate.

SCAR recommends that the following language in bold be added to the Rules of Senate

VI ?

Committees

C. The nomination and election of members to Senate committees shall be undertaken at

the June Senate meeting and at other times when vacancies occur. In

order

to ensure

continued operation of Senate committees, where necessary, the terms of office of

retiring members shall be deemed to extend until the date of the next Senate

meeting when elections can be held.

Rationale

Committee terms conclude on 31 May. If the June Senate meeting is not held until

some days after that time, there can be occasions when Senate committees may not be

able to undertake urgent business. The effect of the above amendment would be to

continue the term of appointment for the few days until the next Senate meeting, thereby

bridging this gap.
