Please be advised that the board will apply the requirement that a candidate must have at least two years membership immediately prior to nomination date per cl.24.2 (d) of the CSV constitution. The 2 year membership requirement will, for the purposes of the 2010 board election, be defined in its most prescriptive form meaning 24 months continual membership required prior to the nomination close-off date. This clause will be reviewed by the currently convened Constitution Amendments sub committee and recommendations made and presented at the next state council meeting.

This decision has been made to facilitate the smooth running and focus of the 2010 election.  The decision is also made prior to nomination close-off so that it is clear that it is not related to any candidates.
