==Constitutional Ammendment== | ==Constitutional Ammendment== | ||
Following James' comments about the constitution being unclear on the decision making process (and the disagreement by some with his interpretatation was that he should make major decisions), Richard proposed an ammendment to the constitution to clarify matters. His intention appeared to be simply to avoid problems in the future (''my aim is to clarify the future not to try and rake over the past''), however it may have been seen by James and others as a direct response to the arguments taking place at the time. This was proposed and {{unsure|passed}}, as most agreed some clarification was needed in the constitution on this matter. | Following James' comments about the constitution being unclear on the decision making process (and the disagreement by some with his interpretatation was that he should make major decisions), Richard proposed an ammendment to the constitution to clarify matters.

==Meeting Length== | |||
One suggestion James made was that meetings should be shorter. He suggested that some people had ''turned up to a meeting, been bored out of their skulls and have never done anything YSTV related again''. Whether this was true or not, it was almost certainly a valid comment that station meetings were dragging on at the time. However, suggestions such as stand-up meetings or a rigid 30 minute time limit were rejected by many as too strong a reaction. At a time when people were keen to make sure that important things were discussed with the membership, and concerns had been raised that James was not doing so, it was likely seen by some that James was trying to cut down on this. With hindsight, this was probably not the case, and as in other situations, James' intention was probably perfectly valid and innocent. Once again though, it appeared to some that he was trying to get his own way rather than discussing things with the membership. | |||
