Members liabilities: A member’s liability, if any, towards the debts and liabilities of the association.
Disciplining members: The procedure for disciplining members, including an appeals process.
Internal disputes: The procedure for the resolution of disputes between members and between members and the association.
Committee: The composition, functions and processes of the committee, including the calling of general meetings, the procedure for calling and holding a general meeting, and the interval between meetings.
Notice of general meetings: The process for notifying members of a general meeting and notices of motion.
Procedure at general meetings: The quorum, procedure and requirements for conducting a general meeting, and whether members are entitled to vote by proxy.
Sources of funds: The sources of the association’s income.
Management of funds: How the association’s funds are to be managed and the procedure for drawing and signing cheques on behalf of the association.
Custody of books, etc: Who is responsible for the association’s books, documents and securities.
