Section 11 Subsection (b) Council has been amended as follows:


Amendments: Further to the recommendations of the General Assembly Meeting of April 3, 1998 to raise the number of Council Members from 6 Members to 12 Members, and due to many dissents from Association Members from inadequate representation in the November 8, 2001 General Assembly Meeting, it has been decided that any full member who wished to sit-in at Council Meetings to represent themselves or others (with consent) to discuss various issues or help in Council functions was so welcome. However, they would not be able to vote on Council decisions.


Section 23 (New) Nominations or Award of Honours or Disciplinary Actions within SAS Meetings


Additions: During the November 2001 Conference, Honours and Awards were distributed publicly within the SAS Conference and during its official time using its official space and audience without prior arrangement or consent with the SAS as represented by its Council. This has drawn much dissent from SAS Members and has caused irreparable harm to others. In the General Assembly Meeting of November 2001, it was decided that the SAS Council was the only Body, to represent the SAS, including representation in nominations, awards and honouring or otherwise similar, equivalent or even opposing or disciplinary actions and NO OTHER BODY or PERSON could use the SAS premises, property, time, space or audience for such actions without the prior knowledge and consent of the SAS as represented by its Council.
