What can be done in the club's name without formal exec approval?
e.g.: SFD, InstallFest, LAN party, talk
Proposed by Stephen, seconded by Jessica:
Something (e.g. running SFD events, LAN gaming event, etc.) can be done in the club's name without a full exec meeting if:
- it will not cost the club anything
- details are posted to the organisation mailing list
- at least 4 exec members approve (this may include the person asking for approval)
- it does not contradict the stated aims of the club
passed unanimously
How should we deal with deadlines for forms and such?
Suggestion that documents in club's name be sent to organisation mailing list at least 1 week in advance.
