NCC 2015 AGA Resolutions
September 2015
2015 Proposed Resolutions to Amend the Constitution of NunatuKavut
Resolution # 1
Moved by Jim Holwell, seconded by Roxanne Notley
Whereas Article #25 of the Constitution currently extends voting rights to full members- resident only, and;
Whereas NCC consulted with its membership during the 2014 AGA process on extending the process to allow voting to non-resident members, and;
Whereas the response of the membership on this consultation was favorable; and
Whereas in the spirit of the aforementioned consultation, NCC wishes to implement an extension of the voting to full members – non resident;
Therefore be it resolved that Article # 25 be reworded as follows:
“Every full member, sixteen (16) years of age and over, shall be eligible to vote.”
Resolution # 2
Moved by Jim Holwell, seconded by Levi Snook
Whereas Article # 34 of the Constitution currently reads “Nominations shall be signed by candidate and two other full – members residents”, and:
Whereas NCC is a growing organization with increasing duties and commitments for elected officials that require an increased commitment level, and:
Whereas NCC is attempting to increase the involvement of full members – non-resident in the elections process; and,
Whereas expanding the process for nomination is one way to gauge the commitment of the candidate, and to involve more of the membership in the elections process;
Therefore, be it resolved that Article # 34 be amended to read:
“Nominations shall be signed by the candidate and ten other full members. Nominees shall pay any applicable fees for filing of their nomination papers.”
