This included the proposed resolution, schedules and the notice to members - <a href="http://t.comms.acs.org.au/r/?id=h7b7d4f,eb36896,eb34549&customerID=" target="_blank">Notice of proposed alteration to the Rules and Objects of the Society</a>.<br><br>To assist members to understand how the proposed new governance model will operate in its entirety, you may have already seen this article posted in Information Age on the 25 June 2019 – <a href="http://t.comms.acs.org.au/r/?id=h7b7d4f,eb36896,eb3454a&customerID=" target="_blank">ACS to modernise governance: From Incorporated Association to Company Limited by Guarantee</a>, or other articles from ACS members Karen Gee and Peter James.
