I thought it might be useful to have a pre-Congress thread on the topic.
(Personally, I have a performance on Saturday afternoon…)

Thanks to @Fletcher and @rundll for their work on these.
I support all the amendments at least in principle, though I haven’t checked the details of CAP-2 for bugs yet.
CAP-1 doesn’t explain where the role of Party Agent would fall, but Council already has the power to appoint one under 1.2.4 - and of course should CAP-2 pass, the Treasurer takes that role on.
If someone could explain the history of why we have a by-law enabling supporter memberships rather than CAPping associate memberships into supporter memberships, that’d be appreciated.
