This document outlines the process of constitutional reform to date and options for the next steps. After reading the relevant documents,

• Let us know your preference for amending the constitution 

• For each motion, let us know any suggestions for amending the motion or any other relevant comments

• Let us know if you’d like a face-to-face information/discussion session. Members who are unable to attend face-to-face sessions can send their views in writing

At the October General Meeting, two options for the next steps in amending the constitution were tabled. In this email to the DSRA secretary, Leigh outlines his views.

An updated draft of the DSRA's Rules which includes suggestions from members made on the forum. Please see the document 'Constitutional reform - summary' for an overview of the process to date.

​This paper gives a brief overview of the process the working group undertook and explains what happens next

​

Please note that constitutions are now referred to as 'Rules of the Association'

This is a copy of the draft rules prepared by the working group, based on the Model Rules

​

Following community consultation, a settled draft of the new rules will be put to members to vote on. Community consultation will comprise the website forum, discussion at the upcoming general meeting and, if warranted, a one-off face-to-face discussion session

​

We realise that the draft can look a little overwhelming at first glance. To make the process less daunting, we suggest that people focus on recommended additions (coloured red) and recommended omissions (have a line through them)
