At this meeting the proposed governance changes will be voted on. This is a very important meeting and the HLA Executive urges you to read about the proposed changes and vote on them.
If you are unable to attend the meeting you can nominate a proxy using the electronic proxy form (only available to members; you will need to sign onto the ALIA website). From Roxanne Missingham:
Some important things to note about proxies: If acting as a proxy it is important to note that the member is delegating to another member the right to vote on their behalf. It is up to the member holding the proxy vote (s) to interpret them as they wish. That is, a member is given a proxy not a specific delegation to vote in a particular way for each motion. Therefore, when delegating a proxy vote to another member you may wish to suggest your view on the motions before the meeting. The proxy also holds full voting power for anything during the meeting of those members they hold proxies for. For that reason giving proxy to another member should be considered quite carefully especially as major changes can be proposed at meetings via the process of amendments to motions.
If in general you want to vote "YES" to the proposed changes, you may want to consider appointing Roxanne Missingham, ALIA Vice President, to vote on your behalf. Contact Roxanne at Roxanne.Missingham@aph.gov.au. Those voting "NO" might want to consider appointing either Helen Mandl (c/ University of Wollongong Library, Northfields Avenue, Wollongong NSW 2522; ALIA member no. 34250) or Tania Barry (c/ Wyndham Library, PO BOX 197 Werribee 3030; ALIA member no. 047842)
The agenda, motions and proxy form can be found at the ALIA governance web page.
