On the eve of the AGM thought I'd flag a couple of changes to the ARLC constitution. The length of stay is the interesting one, and that they haven't done it retrospectively. Means existing 3 year tenure commissioners can now hang around for a further 6 years years, in effect giving them 9 years on the commission (in exceptional cases 12 years!), nice earner ($75k a year) if you can get it!
- The period of time a person must not be involved in the game - as an officer or employee of the ARLC, NRL, an NRL Club, NSWRL or QRL, before he/she is eligible to be appointed as an independent director of the ARLC is reduced from 36 months to 12 months.
- The method for removing a director from office changed to align with the Corporations Act.
- Capping the maximum time that a director can hold office to six years, unless there are exceptional circumstances that warrant a further three-year term at the request of the Chairman. The rule is not retrospective and comes into force from the next AGM of the ARLC. Current Directors will be treated as being in the first year of their term, for the purposes of this rule.
