Standing Orders, there are two options here:
a) Agree the Model Set with the constitution and adopt them.
b) Just adopt the section numbered 6 as something like "Guidance for the 
conduct of Meetings" which will allow greater flexibility.

Elections, as yet there seems to have been no need to actually hold an 
election, but that situation is unlikely to continue, so there needs first 
of all to be a decision on what kind of elections we are going to hold, 
and secondly if they are to be postal. (To clarify this both 10b and the 
final part of 6d need to decided by the either the Committee before the 
next AGM, or the next AGM itself. 

I have yet to see a 'Flood' of Email's, but then I take the Digest, which 
itself seems to be having problems with its dates.
