Introduction
 Prague Medsoc: Sophie Laverack has proposed the idea of a MIMSA
type of organisation in Prague first faculty i.e. she is stealing the
MIMSA idea. We as a board are aware that this is happening and only
ask to be given due credit for the idea and layout of the future
organization.

approved in full colour

carry and will let us know.

helping

Constitution change
 From the general meeting Article 23 to be updated so that the
president and vice president are renewable for a single term.
 Article 61 – it is believed to be a conflict of interest to have a board
member on the election committee. It has been approved for the
student reps to instead run the election and be the election committee
with an observer from the previous board able to advise.
 Also we have decided that a person who is no longer a student at our
University is no longer a member of MIMSA and as such should give
back card.
 The revised constitution needs to be given to Roye to put on the new
website.
