WA - PRECC, WestCoast
SA - RRCSA
This easily achieves the 25% of clubs, and 25% of states to have a quorum. Maybe have your lawyers check the constitution on that, as you announced you have previously done at the meeting.

So if the committee had chosen to take votes there and then, we could have done also. As it was, we actually felt it more prudent to not vote without the all clubs present, and simply have a "state of the union" meeting, and the opportunity to discuss relevant topics. Which is exactly what happened.
