| ARTICLE 36: MODIFICATIONS TO CLUB STATUTES
1. Club Statutes can only be modified at the Club's Annual General Meeting or at
an
Extraordinary General Meeting called for this purpose. The Board of the Club or
any
active or life member can make suggestions for modifications. To approve a
modification a two-thirds majority of the valid votes cast will be required.
However,
when a change in the Club Statutes is made necessary by modifications to the
Official Publications of Skal International, the Board shall prepare the
required
amendments and inform the members of the reasons for the changes, without asking
for the otherwise, necessary vote.
2. Modifications must be in keeping with the Official Publications of Skal
International
and where major changes are made to the Club Statutes, the proposed Statutes
shall
be sent to Skal International for approval before publication.
3. The Club Secretary must receive all proposals for changes to Club Statutes
forty-five
(45) days prior to the meeting at which this subject is an item on the Agenda.
4. Should it be found that the Official Publications of Skal International are
in conflict
with the laws of the country, then the decision, in writing, of the relevant
authority
explaining the motives and terms that require modification must be forwarded to
the
General Secretariat to permit Skal International to consider the matter.
