There was no discussion and a motion from Prof Wilkinson (seconded Dr T Cull), that the report be accepted was CARRIED. Two constitutional amendments (attachment 2) were proposed. 1. Dr Karin Tiedemann moved (seconded by A/Prof R Hall) that the following wording be incorporated into the Constitution: MEMBERSHIP

3 Membership is open to: (a) Medical or Dental graduates who have been members of the medical staff of the Royal Children's Hospital (including Resident Medical Officers and Registrars who have subsequently pursued a career in any branch of paediatrics or child health) and have ceased to have an active medical or dental appointment at the Royal Children's Hospital, or have reached the age of 65 (b) Former Professional and Scientific senior staff of the RCH (c) The spouse or partner of a deceased member All who wish to join the Alumni should complete an application form. Prof Ekert asked why 65 had been left in. It was explained that there did need to be some reference to age when an applicant was still employed at the hospital and that 65, while arbitrary, was reasonable. The motion was CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 2. Prof James Wilkinson, seconded by A/Prof Roger Hall, moved that in in section 3(a), the words Medical staff of the Royal Children s Hospital should be replaced by Medical staff of the Royal Children s Hospital campus and that in section 3(b), the words Professional and Scientific senior staff of the RCH should be replaced by Professional and Scientific senior staff of the RCH campus. The Chairman explained that the intention of the motion was to include senior staff from the other institutions co-located on the RCH campus (the MCRI and the University of Melbourne Department of Paediatrics). No-one expressed any objection to this proposal. A/Prof R Hall asked if former RCH Board members would be eligible to join the Alumni. The Chairman answered that they would not be eligible under the current criteria but that this could be considered at another time if an application for membership was received.
