With the introduction of the new ops roster from 01/10 it was clear that it would be very difficult to continue with the provision of breakfast in the same way it was done in the past. Although the roster is still called "Team Based" it has become impossible for the responsible persons in the different teams to figure out when they were supposed to arrange breakfast and who they should approach for that.

So the time had come for the board to decide if we would continue with the provision of the breakfast. We all agreed at the latest meeting to do so, but to change the procedure completely.

EGATS is governed by a Consitution and Bye-Laws.

As EGATS is registered in the Netherlands, the Dutch version of our constitution is the legally binding one.

Changes of the Constitution can only take place after the General Meeting has decided so,
whereby this meeting was called with the announcement that changes to the Constitution will
be proposed. They need to be approved by a 2/3 majority of a General Meeting where at least 2/3 of the membership is present. If that quorum is not reached at the meeting, a Special General Meeting may be called. Changes to the constitution then require 2/3 of the people present at that meeting.

Changes to the Bye-Laws can also only be taken by a General Meeting. They need to be announced on the agenda and need a simple majority of the members present at the meeting to approve them.
