That Clause 12.1 of the Constitution be amended by removing “up to five” and adding “The named positions may each be shared by more than one individual, and the membership of the Executive Council shall not exceed ten individuals.” to read:
“The Executive Council shall comprise the President, the Vice-President, the National Secretary, the National Treasurer and other members elected at the Annual General Meeting to carry out the aims and powers of the Society. The named positions may each be shared by more than one individual, and the membership of the Executive Council shall not exceed ten individuals.”

The intended effect is to enable sharing of the named Executive positions.
