MIT STUDENT CABLE GROUP CONSTITUTION The Student Cable Group (aka MITV 36/35) shall be an organiza- tion open to all in the M.I.T. and Wellesley communities and shall provide students with the opportunity to program the M.I.T. Cable Television System and the MITV internet video services. The membership of the group shall consist of all people whose names appear on an official roll to be held by the secretary. Membership will always consist of at least 5 current MIT students, and will always consist of at least 50% MIT students. The secretary shall start a new roll every school year and add to it the names of everyone in the M.I.T. and Wellesley communities who attend three or more Student Cable Group meetings or show continued involvment by participating for an analogous period of time in a Student Cable Group production. Members who do not attend two consecutive meetings will become non-voting members. The executive officers of the group shall be elected from the student membership at a regular or special meeting during May, or whenever an office is vacant. Their duties and powers shall be those listed herein as well as any that the membership explicitly confers upon them during their term of office. The executive officers shall be: A president, who shall not be the treasurer, and whose responsibility shall be to call and run meetings, administer group policies, be the primary point of contact for the group, and ensure the preservation and mission of the group; A treasurer, who shall not be the president, and whose responsibilities shall be to handle and keep permanent records of all financial transactions of the group; A secretary, whose responsibilities shall be to take minutes at every meeting and file these minutes with the financial records as part of the Student Cable Group's permanent archives (may also be the treasurer); And any other officers as shall be elected by the membership (such as a production or facilities mgr). These officers must be re-elected every year. Removal of an executive officer from office shall require a two-thirds (66 & 2/3%) vote of the membership. Meetings shall be held once a month with additional meetings whenever the president (or designated officer) calls for one. A quorum shall be one executive officer and four members, or one-half (50%) of the membership of the group, whichever is greater. This quorum is the same for elections and amendments. Amendments to this constitution and elections shall require the agreement of two-thirds (66 & 2/3%) of the membership to be approved. Voting member privileges include priority usage of the facilities and broadcast channels in exchange for helping MITV continue to be a going concern (ie. attend meetings, train others, maintain equipment, etc.). Non-voting members may acquire usage as capacity permits. Non-members may request programming time but the request may be denied or only partially filled depending on the availability of members and membership programming wants. The Student Cable Group agrees to abide by the rules and regulations of the Association of Student Activities, its Executive Committee, and the Finance Board. This constitution, amendments to it, and the by-laws of this organization shall be subject to review by the ASA Executive Committee to insure that they are in accordance with the aforementioned rules and regulations. The Student Cable Group agrees to abide by the Non-Discrimination Policy. Any member of the MIT student community is eligible and welcomed to become a member.
