Mon Jan 30 18:11:31 MST 2017

Tēnā koe Seta,

I hope this email finds you fit and well!

Firstly; We at Kāpō Māori Aotearoa, formally ngāti Kāpō o Aotearoa inc,
would like to offer our sincere apologies for the lack of contact with the
forum over the past few months. Things have been rather hectic for our
society during this time.

We also would like to apologise for the late notice.  I am emailing to
inform you that we are unable to attend this years conference.  We do wish
the forum all the best and look forward to the year ahead. We especially
look forward to hearing what the PDF has got planned for the future for our
disabled communities throughout the pacific!

Mā te atua kautou e tiaki e manaaki i ngā wā katoa. Talk to you again soon!

Anō rā

Nigel Ngahiwi.

Presidant Kāpō Māori Aotearoa inc.

Subject: [PDF-members] Amendments to the PDF Constitution
Importance: High

To All PDF Full and Associate Members

Warm Pacific greetings to each one of you. I wish to draw to your attention
that the PDF Secretariat is now inviting from Full and Associate Members of
the Pacific Disability Forum (PDF) any proposed amendment(s) to the PDF
Constitution to be presented and discussed at the PDF General Forum to be
held at the Tanoa Tusitala Hotel, Apia, Samoa on Friday, 24th February 2017.
This General Forum is part of the 5th Pacific Regional Conference on
Disability organised by the PDF at the same venue from 20-24 February 2017. 

This notice is in line with the PDF Constitution Clause 11.4, “Alteration
and Amendment to the Constitution” which states that amendments to the PDF
Constitution shall be tabled for consideration and approval at General
Meetings, and that any proposed amendment to be sent to the Secretariat two
months before the meeting, who then will circulate such amendment to all
members of the PDF at least fourteen days before the meeting. 

Therefore, the deadline for the receipt of any submission on a proposed
amendment to the PDF Constitution will be Saturday, 24 December 2016 to
satisfy the requirement of the above-mentioned clause in the current PDF
Constitution which is also attached for your reference and information.

When proposing an amendment, please use the following format:

1.       Identify the clause number and title,

2.       State the clause in its current format,

3.       Include the change you are proposing to make in that particular
clause,

4.       Re-write the clause to include your proposed amendment,

5.       Give your reason(s) for the amendment. 

I have pasted below an amendment received in the past as an example.

“Clause 7 Registered Office

Current: 

“The registered office of the PDF shall be located in a country as
determined by the Council”

Change: 

Insert “Pacific Island” before the word ‘country’.

To Read: 

The registered office of the PDF shall be located in a Pacific Island
Country as determined by the Council from time to time.

Reason: 

*  Limiting the location to be in a Pacific Island country avoids leaving
the meaning open to being any country possibly outside the region.”

Please email your proposed amendment(s) to ceo at pacificdisability.org
<mailto:ceo at pacificdisability.org>   or fax to +679-3310469, attention to
Setareki Macanawai, Chief Executive Officer, Pacific Disability Forum before
the deadline of 24 December 2016.

Thank you.
