Amendment register

Every instrument amending this constitution, with the provisions it touches and the signed Act as published.

Which headings carry legal force

Headings in this constitution are stated by an instrument unless marked §editorial heading. An enacted heading is one an amending instrument states as a heading, in an Act applied to that provision. 32 of 40 headings are enacted and 8 are editorial; the 8 in the minority are marked, because marking the ordinary case is noise.

It matters where the two are easy to confuse: Act 1 of 2024 titles Article 11's clause (2) Establishment, but gives clause (1) no title at all — the lowercase units above it was written by an editor.

Nothing is credited to an Act that has not been applied. Editorial headings are listed below so the board can ratify or replace them, rather than have them quietly rewritten.

Standing notes for a future Act

Reconciliation is complete: all three Amendment Acts of 2024 are applied. These points are recorded rather than resolved, because resolving them would mean editing the constitution without an instrument.

• Article 19 is reserved. No instrument has occupied this number. Acts 1, 2 and 3 of 2024 insert Articles 18, 20 and 21 and none mentions 19; a whitespace-normalised search over all three finds no occurrence of it in any form. Left unallocated rather than closed by renumbering, which would break every citation after it. See RECONCILIATION.md Q1.
• Article 6 clause (6), Donor, sits oddly with Article 7(4). Act 1 substituted clauses (1)–(5) of Article 6 by name and did not reach clause (6), so Donor stands as an STM role — while Article 7(4), as Act 1 amended it, provides that a Donor Member is not an official Member and does not work for the organisation. A substitution of named clauses does not reach an unnamed one, so the tension is published rather than tidied away.
• Article 6 clauses (3) and (4) are defined in identical words. Act 1 defines Unit Board Member and Coordinator with the same operative text, differing only by "in STM" and "in the STM". Published as enacted; a candidate for a corrigendum or a Fourth Amendment Act.
