THE EGM cannot be held on Wednesday, you need five days to prompt the EGM and posters have to be put on the 9 designated notice boards around the college according to the consitition, otherwise the EGM is unoffical and no action can be take at it, the earlist time you can have EGM is Friday. It was arranged to have the EGM on Wednesday at the emergency committee meeting on Thursday. That's 6 days. I will check this out in the constitution; once I get to read a copy. I have a letter dated from the 1st of December from the SU President making reference to the EGM on the 6th of December. That's 5 days.
You have to put up notice on the 9 designated noticeboards around the college 5 working days in advance of a meeting and seems as the first posters only went up on what seems today- Monday, the earlist you can have the meeting is Friday.
Also my resignation can be accepted until such time as there is an offical EGM. This doesn't make any sense. It implies a change of state of your resignation after the EGM. Please clarify this.
This doesnot imply a change of minds about my resignation. rather I have things to say before I will go idlely by.
The consitition is available in the capitation handbook, please read it first. The first time I even heard we had a constitution was a week ago. Which capitation handbook, Darragh? I can't follow a constitution that I can't access or don't know exists. Siobhan has told me that you have the constition and the capitation handbook yourself; and I'm only finding out now. I was the Secretary and now am the Vice-Chair; both executive committee posts AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SEE IT.
Get your own capitation handbook off Bart, I need mine for reference.
This is a joke, and it most certainly isn't funny. We need to give everyone access to all of our documentation ASAP. Constitution, capitation submission, sponsorship letters (on the minds system itself), etc. We can't run the society like this.

The few points I would like to point out is 1. Aidan Delany can not be the Acting Vice-Chair, he is not an executive member of the committee and therefore has no vote on committee decisions, Fiachra Matthews is the Acting Vice-Chair has he is next in line. 2. My letter of resignation is not an act of courage, courage is standing up to the truth in the face of all odds. My letter of resignation is an act of cowardess which I was forced into by Noel Hogan, David Barrett, Bart Busschots and Aidan Delany. I feel I have been treated like shit by these people. I helped found the society and put alot of time and effort into it for the last 2 years and when a crisis arived, I was the scape goat. I will be unable to attend the UNOFFICAL EGM on Wednesday as I have a course on in UCD at 7.30pm so if you want to be cowardly have your meeting then, otherwise have it at some other time in the week so I can face up to allegations against me. I have to attend the course in UCD there is no way I can not attend the course and it is the last night of the course. Also, David Bolger and myself where in talking to Stephen Brown and James Cotter, we both explained what happened. Stephen Brown said that MiNDS> had nothing to do with it. _____________________________ Darragh Sherwin yr40017@cs.may.ie
