The problem is "business for the whole club" is far too broad and leaves a lot of room for interpretation. This, in my opinion, is one of the problems. Frankly with the onerous process for dealing with such business, it tends towards the most limited set when interpreted. > Oh, and in light of the elections, section 3.3.2 is pretty interesting. > Oh, and 3.3.6 too.

The official membership restriction is intended to make it so elections are driven by the people directly affected. As much as I love still being on the list and involved as an alumni, the vote should be the people who are actively in the club.
