Special Resolution to amend auDA's Constitution

Purpose of Resolution
To amend auDA's Constitution so that it conforms with the requirements of section 150 of the Corporations Law by replacing article 5 of the Constitution.

This is necessary to prevent the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) from revoking auDA's licence to omit the word "Limited" from its name.

The Resolution
That the existing clause 5 of auDA\'s Constitution be deleted and the following clause inserted in its place:

"5 NON PROFIT
The income and property of auDA must be applied solely in promoting the objects of auDA as set out in this Constitution and no portion of it is to be paid or transferred directly or indirectly by way of profit to Members or Directors. This does not prevent the payment in good faith:

  1. for goods supplied in the ordinary and usual course of business;
  2. of interest at a reasonable and proper rate on money borrowed from any Member;
  3. of reasonable and proper rent for premises demised or let by any Member to auDA;
  4. of remuneration to any officers or servants of auDA in return for any services rendered to auDA other than in the capacity as director or officer, where the provision of the service has the prior approval of the directors of auDA and where the amount payable is approved by the directors of auDA and is not more than an amount which commercially would be a reasonable payment for the service;
  5. of out-of -pocket expenses incurred by a director in the performance of any duty as a director of auDA where the amount payable does not exceed any amount previously approved by the directors of auDA;
  6. of any salary or wage due to a director as an employee of auDA where the terms of employment have been approved by the directors of auDA; or
  7. a financial benefit to a director to which subsection 243K(7A) of the Corporations Law refers or payment of an insurance premium in respect of a contract insuring a director to which subsection 243K(7B) of the Corporations Law refers provided that the financial benefit and/or insurance premium has been previously approved by the directors of auDA."
