Special Resolution #2011-01 to Amend the By-Laws of the Manitoba UNIX User 
Group

We, the undersigned, hereby resolve that the By-Laws of this Group be
amended pursuant to paragraph 12 as follows:

1. Add to paragraph 1 two new clauses:
	(g) "mailed" means delivered in written form, or any functionally or 
legally equivalent form, by any service the Board deems as generally 
reliable and suitable as postal service for the relevant purpose.
	(h) "written" and "in writing" shall include any functionally or legally 
equivalent form of communication, specifically including digital forms 
where applicable.

	/* This will allow us to use email or other more modern forms of 
communication wherever they would be more appropriate than sending mail 
through Canada Post, as well as allowing for members with disabilities 
(e.g. blindness). */

2. Alter paragraph 4, clause (g) from "except as provided in paragraph 5, 
clause (ii) C" to "except as provided in paragraph 4, clause (a)(ii) C".

	/* Typo that no-one noticed in 9 years, apparently. */

3. Alter paragraph 5 clause (b) from "as long as his successor remains 
President and he remains a Member" to "as long as he remains a Member and 
his successor remains President".

	/* It's never been an issue, but this removes the slight ambiguity in the 
way it's worded right now and makes it unambiguous. */

3. Alter paragraph 11, clause (i) iii to instead be clause (i) iv.

4. Alter paragraph 11, clause (i) ii to instead be clause (i) iii.

5. Add to paragraph 11 a new clause (i) ii:
	ii) The board shall appoint a Banking Committee pursuant to paragraph 5 
clause (i) consisting of at least three Members in good standing, one of whom
shall be the Treasurer.  These members may be made Honorary Members, per
paragraph 4 clause a ii B, if necessary to ensure the continued operation of
the Group.  In addition to the powers delegated under paragraph 5 clause (i),
the Banking Committee and its Members shall abide at all times by the Duties
laid out in paragraph 5 clause (f).

6. Alter paragraph 11, clause (i) iii from "Deposits may be made by any of 
the Officers of the Group" to "Deposits may be made by any of the members 
of the Banking Committee".

7. Alter paragraph 11, clause (i) iv from "require the signatures of any 
two of: the President, Vice-President, Secretary, or Treasurer" to 
"require the signatures of any two of the members of the Banking 
Committee".

	/* These changes are required both to ensure continuity of MUUG's 
operations from year to year, and to make it easier for the us to comply 
with Canadian law. */
