This JCR notes that:

• Currently honorary members can only be inducted via a vote in a JCR meeting.

• This is laid out in the Constitution of Univ JCR in Article II, VI.

• JCR meetings traditionally follow a set schedule, running fortnightly mostly for the first two terms, and extraordinary meetings aim to be minimised in the interest of time.

This JCR believes that:

• Commonly honorary membership is bestowed to sportspeople to allow them to compete on Univ teams.

• This is often done in circumstances that render it a time sensitive occurrence (e.g., in advance of an important game).

• With the improved voting methods now available, virtual referendums can be run anonymously, securely and quicker than in person referendums.

• Making honorary members able to be inducted by referendum would mean that it could be done without requiring a full meeting to be called, thereby saving time for students.

This JCR resolves to:

• Amend the constitution to allow honorary members to be inducted by referendum, which can be run remotely using a voting system agreed with the Returning Officer.
