21 resolutions in 21 days – Episode 7
Why we gave the notice provisions a face lift and a status lift
Ever been in a puzzle room where you spend an hour trying to crack codes and decipher cryptic messages, only to discover the instruction manual explaining how everything works was taped under the chair you’ve been sitting on the whole time? That sort of describes how the current AMT constitution treats the notice requirements (the framework for how AMT communicates with members). At the moment, these provisions are buried at the end, despite containing the basic rules for how most of the other rules function.
That is why we would like to move the notice provisions up front and centre, establishing communication fundamentals before describing all the processes that depend on them. We’re also removing outdated elements (hello again fax machines, farewell the good old days when Australia Post could manage next day delivery!) and adding all the funky digital alternatives that actually reflect how AMT operates in 2025, not 1995.
