CONSTRUCTIVE POINTS
1. AGM results
2. Upcoming events
1. CUDS held its 2005/06 AGM on March 24th where a new executive was
elected for the 2006/07 year and a number of constitutional amendments and
bylaws were passed. Thanks to our outgoing executive for a job very well
done in this banner year for CUDS, and good luck to our new executive:
Adam Coombs, President
Jordan Charbonneau, VP Administration
Graham Pressey, VP Communications
Andrew Lawrence, VP Internal
Garnett Genuis, VP External
Yannick LePage, VP French Debate (new position)
Constitutional amendments
<
http://www.carletondebate.org/constitution>included points about
representation of Carleton's diverse student body in
CUDS, the formation of a new tournament selection committee (TSE), the
establishment of a new executive position (VP French Debate), tournament
particpation selection policy, and various minor points on the descriptions
of executive duties. Moreover, several new bylaws were created in regards to
reporting tournament results, the formation of a new equity committee,
voting rights, and high-cost tournaments - check out the bylaws
section<http://www.carletondebate.org/bylaws>to find out more.
Our special congratulations also go out to Padraic Ryan, our former VP
External, who will be going on to higher and mightier things as the new
President of CUSID, the governing body of Canadian university debating.
Armed with a respectable haircut and a new, less-incriminating picture on
CUSIDnet, Padraic is sure to take CUSID by storm.
2. There are several upcoming social events. On April 7, CUDS is meeting
up with EDS for an end-of-year banquet at the Blue Cactus. In addition, Ben
Piper is hosting a get-together/potluck at his house on the 15th of April.
All debaters are welcome for both events, but are encouraged to give their
names to the exec so we have some idea of the numbers we can expect. Please
post on the appropriate CUSIDnet thread if you intend on attending either
one of the events.
