Section 2.1 (c) Managing Committee:
Current wording: Only parents of Junior Members and/or Associate Members of the
Association may be Committee Members.
Proposed change: Parents of Junior Members, and/or Associate Members or Life
Members of the Association may be Committee Members.
Reasoning: This change would allow life members to serve on the committee

Section 3.1 Types of Members: 
Current wording:  Associate membership – shall be open to all persons interested in the
Optimist.
Proposed change:  Membership (non-sailing) – shall be open to all persons
interested in the Optimist class.
Reasoning: The Associate membership option has been in our rules for many years but
never used. This cheaper membership category could be then promoted
to friends of the class or sponsors, as a source of additional funds. (It would also preclude
juniors from joining NZIODA at a cheaper fee). 

Section 5.1. Association Meetings: 
Action: Possibly one to be added, Barry to follow up.
Current wording:   Financial Members and Life Members only may vote. Parents of financial
junior members shall be entitled to vote without the need to be appointed as a proxy or
alternate to the junior member. In the case of a family, only one vote is allowed.
Proposed change:  Parents of financial Junior Members and Life Members only may
vote. Parents of financial junior members shall be entitled to vote without the need to be
appointed as a proxy or alternate to the junior member. In the case of a family, only one
vote is allowed.
Reasoning: precludes Associate Members having voting rights at an AGM.
