Amendment 10

While the Constitution was written to provide the team with a stable and long term governance structure, it shall also be a living document. The word/operating structure/experiences of Launch officers in 2022 may not be applicable to those in the future and, as such, the Constitution must be amended to reflect the team that it so governs. 

This page is to be used for documenting any and all significant amendments to the Constitution.

A significant amendment to the Constitution is one that:

• Notably changes the operating structure of the team

• Notably changes the powers of officers or members

• Notably changes any team decision/electoral/penal procedure 

• Otherwise provides a meaningful change to the Constitution that alters its function or how its language AND/OR spirit applies to the team

3. Amendments shall be proposed to at least 2/3 of the Launch officers, upon which they shall vote. A 2/3 majority of all present officers will pass or reject the amendment.

   1. If passed, the amendment shall be codified into the Constitution

   2. If rejected, the amendment shall be deliberated/altered to compromise or struck entirely

5. Amendments to the Constitution shall be made in sequential order, and shall be properly documented

4.G: Team Advisors

Team Advisors are Launch Initiative Officers that have been appointed by the Admin Team to fill gaps in knowledge transfer on teams deemed necessary by the Admin Team. Such team leads to support are defined in Section 4.F.

4.G: Team Advisors

Team Advisors are appointed by the Admin Team to fill gaps in knowledge transfer on teams deemed necessary by the Admin Team and are not classified as club officers.  Such team leads to support are defined in Section 4.F.

4.D defines officers as elected to the e-board or appointed as a project team lead, however 4.G later defines advisors as team officers. The purpose of this amendment is to no longer define advisors as team officers, therefore removing their ability to vote on club issues primarily because it is an appointed position.
