Motions for the agenda must be with the undersigned at the National Office by COB Thursday 2 August 2007 (see 3.4 below)

Your attention is drawn to an extract from the Operations Manual relating to the meeting......

"3.2    Forum:
The Forum of the NWPL comprises a Delegate from each of the competing teams - men and/or women, and the NWPL Commission.

3.3    Meetings:       
Meetings will be held at least once per year in accordance with an agreed schedule. An agreed meeting schedule will be published. Meetings may be face to face, conference calls and/or email.

3.4    Motions:
All motions must be in writing and contain a seconder. Only members of the Forum can propose, second or vote on motions. Unless otherwise agreed to at a meeting all motions must be submitted 30 days prior to any vote.
 
3.5    Voting:
Where clubs have two teams (one men and one women) they will be entitled to only one delegate who will be permitted two votes. All Delegates to the Forum will have one vote for each team they are representing and the NWPL Commission and Australian Water Polo will have one vote each. Meetings will be chaired by the NWPL Commission Chairman, or in his/her absence the Deputy Chairman, or in his/her absence by a person nominated by those present who will have the casting vote if required.

Whilst all eligible persons authorised to vote can vote on issues that effect the NWPL as a whole, issues that are specific to only one of the competitions - for example, the men's competition - only the teams playing in that competition and the NWPL Commission may vote on those specific issues. Where it is not clear if an issue is specific to one of the competitions the NWPL Commission Chairman will determine the situation on a case-by-case basis.

3.5.1    Proxy voting is permitted. A Delegate may hold a proxy vote for one Club only, such proxy must be held in writing (letter, fax or email) and must unconditionally appoint the proxy to act and vote on behalf of the Club which is granting the proxy in respect of any and all matters raised at the relevant meeting.

3.6    Financial obligations and eligibility to vote/compete:
3.6.1    If the scheduled Participation Fee payment has not been paid by any club by the scheduled date that club may not vote in NWPL meetings/motions/votes until the outstanding money is paid. This rule will commence on 1st June 2002."
