(Last updated  - 17 December 2002)


Australian Public Access Network Association Inc.

ARBN 081 355 722

1. Any instruction given by an officer to an RC or MC rep concerning their 
region's operation(s) is to be implemented at the earliest possible 
opportunity. The instruction is to be followed to the letter, irrespective 
of whether or not you think the officer is in the right or has authority. 
There are no exceptions and RC, MC Reps have no authority to assume any
course of action which doesn't strictly adhere to the officer's directive.
Unless overridden by the MC in 2, the officer's directive is final.

2. If you do not agree with the officer's directive, raise it at MC level 
and it will be dealt with as new business at the next meeting, via email 
discussion/vote, or an extra-ordinary meeting will be called. The original 
directive will then be voted upon by the entire MC in accordance with Rules 
45.7 - 45.12 inclusive. The Regions/Officers have full authority under the 
Rules to support the directive or override/replace it. Any such decision by 
the MC is binding and final.
