Non-complaint against the SBW committee for keeping committee meeting minutes SECRET


About this email
This was a non-complaint sent to the Shoalhaven Bushwalkers committee in April 2024. It was a way of letting the committee know that they had done something wrong, without them having to do anything about it.

Subject: Non-complaint against the SBW committee for keeping committee meeting minutes SECRET

Date sent: April 30th, 2024


Hi SBW committee,

This is not an official complaint under Rule 13 of the SBW constitution. My previous complaint - "240305 Complaint against the SBW committee for holding a secret committee meeting" - referenced the secret SBW committee meeting held on Tuesday 5th March 2024 which dealt with my alleged conduct.

The club website as of today - 30th April 2024 - shows committee meeting minutes for January 2024 and April 2024. The "secret" committee meeting minutes held on March 5th 2024 is not listed. In addition, the minutes of the April meeting state "Minutes of the committee meeting held 18/01/2024 have already been approved electronically and published on the Club website" - so there is no mention of approving the minutes of the actual previous meeting which happened on March 5th.

Rule 23 (i) of the constitution states – “Proceedings of committee meetings shall be available to any Club member”. If committee meeting minutes are not made available to club members, the constitution has been violated. In this case, the constitution has indeed been violated, but I am not complaining about it. I would, however, hope that the committee puts into place processes that will ensure that this sort of violation does not continue to occur.

Regards,
Brett
