6.1 Amendment to the Constitution
Josephine Ferrell spoke to the motion, reasoning that due to a high frequency assessment period of students in September annually, it was often difficult to both reach a quorum at the Annual General Meeting and to ensure a good Executive handover period.

No further debate was heard. The motion was put to a vote.
