NUS Reform ... That's Better

Looks like someone saw my blog of a few months ago and took the proposals to heart. Well, I can dream.

NUS Reform is a much better title than NUS Governance, the word governance became a turn off during the campaign and had negative connotations, while the word reform gives the process an interest and positive outlook.

National Conference will now be called National Conference (not Congress as in the previous proposals), which makes this sound like the event isn't changing ... because it isn't! The name Congress was just a stupid idea.

But the other titles have also changed to more recognisable forms. For example, the National Executive Committee will now be the National Executive Council, i.e. NEC to NEC. This gives a nod to both the current NEC and the National Council, which will effectively merge to form the new NEC.

So an Extrodinary Confrence has been called for, probably to be held in late November or the beginning of December. I'll be there because I'm a reformer. (Note: not an offical slogan, yet).
