The following is a comparison of the motions on which the EGM was requisitioned by more than 10% of the membership and the motions which the Board subsequently sent out with no prior discussion with Andrew.
EGM Motion according to Andrew's Letter1. That the HAI reiterates our core values of equality and non-discrimination, and our policy of promoting the political cause of a secular state, and we cease to endorse the Civil Registration Act which conflicts with our policy and values.
2. That the HAI ceases to nominate celebrants to become legal solemnisers of marriage under the Civil Registration Act, and any HAI legal solemnisers cease to solemnise marriages, until such time as the Act is amended. 3. That the HAI reiterates our existing policy that a Board member may not hold any salaried office or place of profit under the company, and we clarify that this means that HAI Board members may not be paid humanist celebrants accredited by the HAI. 4. That the HAI will review the process by which we accredit celebrants, including the relative merits of the HAI managing the scheme directly and/or celebrants acting independently, and we will make an informed decision about this at our next AGM. 5. That this EGM appoints, and/or asks the Board to appoint, the following members onto the Board of the HAI: Aaron Keohane, Peter Ferguson; and also asks other HAI members to consider putting themselves forward as Board members. |
