I have just read the FRA constitution and have copy/pasted the relevant sections.
4. GOVERNING BODY
4.1 The association shall be governed by a governing body of voting members :-
a. Up to 5 National Officers :- President, Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer & Safety Officer
b. Up to 10 Regional Officers representing Roboteers across the UK
c. 1 representative from Event Organisers in the association
There is clearly a maximum of ten non executive, voting reps allowed.
7. ALTERATIONS TO THE CONSTITUTION
7.1 Alterations to the constitution can be made by resolution and ballot. This may be triggered by the
membership (see 5.12 above) or by the governing body. The returning officer will control the
issuing and counting of the votes. The membership will have 1 week to record their votes.
Once again it is clear that it is up to the membership to vote on constitution changes not the committee.
For the record I am not having a crack at the FRA, I am merely trying to establish the facts.
