This Union notes:

Regulation B.2.3 and the list of positions covered by exceptional eligibility procedures: women’s officer, men’s officer, postgraduate students’ officer, mature and part time students’ officer, students with disabilities officer, lesbian, gay and bisexual students officer, medical students’ officer and small and special colleges officer.
The position of international students’ officer.
The indicative policy of the council sessions 2004-5 on transgender representation.
Regulation B.2.3 v: Any candidate for "Students with Disabilities Officer" must be a student with disabilities.
Regulation B.3.2.
The paper ‘Election regulations motion to forth council’ passed 27^th January 2003.
There are a number of small grammatical errors in the regulations pertaining to elections.

This Union believes:

An international student best represents the needs of international students.
A single disability, as distinct from multiple disabilities, should not be a bar to holding office.
That re-open nominations should provide an alternative to candidates, as per the spirit and statement of the paper referred to in This Union Notes.
That it is important to have clear regulations.

This Union resolves:

To add to Regulation B.2.3: vii) Any candidate for “International students’ officer�? must be an international student.
To delete ‘disabilities’ from the end of B.2.3 v and replace with ‘one or more disabilities’, such that it reads: ‘Any candidate for “Students with disabilities officer�? must be a student with one or more disabilities.
To insert, to B.3.2, after ‘Elections’, the words ‘contested by at least one candidate’.
To replace, in B.4.1, ‘and’ with ‘have’, such that it reads “...candidates must have every realistic expectation…�?.
To insert, to B.6.3, after the word ‘to’, a comma, such that it reads “All questions must be posed to, and relevant to, all candidates for the particular post�?.
