Amendment to HKAM Regulations
The
voting for a postal ballot to delete Regulation 9(3), which states that no
Fellows shall serve on the Council for a continuous period of more than 8 years,
closed on 4 June 2002. The Academy’s auditor counted the votes on 5 June
2002. The results are as follows:
| Total number of Fellows as of May 2002: | 3771 |
| Ballots returned and counted: | 1136 (over 1/5 of all Fellows) |
|
Valid: For: Against |
1118 784 (over 2/3 of those who voted) 334 |
| Invalid: | 18 (indication of vote unclear) |
The motion to delete Regulation 9(3) was carried.
A formal proposal will be submitted by the Health & Welfare bureau to the Legislative Council for consideration and endorsement. Fellows will be informed of the final outcome in due course.
As stated in the Honorary Secretary’s covering letter to the ballot papers, the Academy’s Constitutions Committee has also reviewed other parts of the Academy’s constitutions. Some are now being scrutinized by the Health and Welfare Bureau. Once the wordings of the proposed amendments have been finalized by the Law Draftsmen, another postal ballot will be conducted to pass the proposals.
