The new WIA gets constitutional approval
----------------------------------------
The resumed WIA Federal Convention was held via a teleconference today
(16 May) and voted by the required majority to accept the constitution of the
new nationally based Wireless Institute of Australia.
The result was a "yes" vote from VK1, VK2, VK4, VK5/8, VK6 and VK7. In line
with public undertakings by the WIA Victoria Council, the VK3 representative
Peter Mill VK3APO voted "no".
Those undertakings included the seeking of legal advice on the proposals in
relation to the new national WIA, and taking a vote of the membership.
The voting process was difficult, and the required majority came about when
the VK2 Federal Councillor voted apparently contrary to the instructions of
the WIA NSW Council.
The VK2 alternative federal councillor also participating in the
teleconference disputed the vote, but it was recorded in the affirmative.
The WIA now has a new President, Michael Owen VK3KI, with the Vice President
being Ernie Hocking VK1LK.
The other directors are Glenn Dunstan VK4DU, Ewan McLeod VK4ERM, Phil Wait
VK2DKN, Edward Thrift VK2ARA and Trevor Quick VK5ATQ.
The collateral or implementation agreement that for the new WIA involving all
seven WIA Divisions is still to be negotiated.
WIA Victoria is proceeding to seek the legal advice on the implementation
agreement to ensure safeguards for its membership, services and assets. A
vote of the membership is also still required before that agreement can be
signed.
