<p>I agree Marcus's request seems particularly vexatious in terms of
the way he's communicating with us here.<br>
However before everyone else gets up-in-arms:</p>
<p>- The Constitution is published at
<a href="https://linux.org.au/about-us/constitution/" target="_blank">https://linux.org.au/about-us/constitution/</a><br>
- You joined Linux Australia therefore you have agreed to abide by
the constitution; if elements here are a surprise then you have
noone to blame but yourself for signing up without reading and
considering the ramifications of it first.</p></div></blockquote><div>Interestingly I never consciously joined Linux Australia. My membership came about when Linux Victoria was subsumed into LA.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>
<p>Here's Section 7 in full:</p>
<h4 id="m_3715957568205092116Register_of_members" style="line-height:1.5">7. Register of
members</h4>
<p>....</p>
<p>I also assume there's a process for proposing updates to the
constitution. Perhaps other members could advise the rationale
behind the structure of Section 7 and provide guidance on whether
a change is feasible, if members are concerned then they'll be
able to propose an amendment and see it passed by vote at an AGM.</p>
