A new constitution based largely on the model constitution for Australian MEFF Consortium developed over a period of almost a year during two retreats was finally passed in a special General Meeting (SGM) held on Sunday 23 October.
Under the new constitution, the elections for 2 trustees will be held every four years while election of 8 Management Committee members will be held every two years while one patron will be appointed by the Management Committee.
President, 3 Vice Presidents need to be selected from within the MACO while other positions can be either filled from MACO or from other ordinary members of the non-prophet organisation.
A Patron will be appointed by the MACO and a Festival Committee will be constituted at a later stage.
