Science Party Relaunch and Constitution
Science Party is wrapping up as a separate legal entity.
Andrea Leong, Sahar Khalili, and Wade Johnson, have been working on a new constitution to go along with our new unincorporated status existing solely as a branch of Fusion.
Proposed New Constitution
Below is a link to our draft and our comments for full transparency.
Draft Science Party Constitution
One major change in the rules is removing all non-Fusion members from the Science Party. The new rules defines members of the new organisation as 'members of the old Science Party who are also members of Fusion'.
We would all love your thoughts and comments to make the constitution as strong as possible.
Comments will be open (the time constitutional changes require) until Thursday 14th March 2024.
We will hold a meeting the following week on Thursday 28th March 2024 at 7pm on the Science Party Discord in Meeting Room 1, to discuss any contentious points and ratify the changes via vote.
