Title

Special Resolution, Constitution General Clean up and minor tweaks

Brief

This Special Resolution is a round up of several minor tweaks and clean up’s to the Constitution wording and layout. It includes changes to the overall order and to the Definitions, Annual General Meetings, Board Meetings and Terminations sections.

Renumbering sections

The flow would be better if it went:

1. Trustees
2. Making Decisions
3. Elections
4. Board Meetings
5. Annual General Meetings
6. Terminations

This way it goes (loosely):

1. What trustees are
2. How they make decisions
3. How we get them in
4. How we communicate monthly
5. How we communicate annually
6. What we have to do in case of an ex-member

Definitions

Nottinghack and The Space needs to go above The Board, in order to match up the definitions for The Board with Trustee

Member needs to refer to Section 1.1 of the Articles, not Section 2.

Voting & Non-voting member: change `attended the Nottingham Hackspace` to just `attended The Space`

Terminations

4.3 any sum due from the member to Nottinghack is not paid in full within six weeks of it falling due - a minimum of one reminder will be sent during that time;

To

Annual General Meetings

Move 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 down under 2.9 and rearrange numbers accordingly, so that all the EGM stuff is together
