Amendment of constitution

Amendment of constitution and procedure
224
1
A CIO may by resolution of its members amend its constitution (and a single resolution may provide for more than one amendment).
2
Such a resolution must be passed—
a
by a 75% majority of those voting at a general meeting of the CIO (including those voting by proxy or by post, if voting that way is permitted), or
b
unanimously by the CIO's members, otherwise than at a general meeting.
3
The date of passing of such a resolution is—
a
the date of the general meeting at which it was passed, or
b
if it was passed otherwise than at a general meeting, the date on which provision in the CIO's constitution or in regulations made under section 223 treats it as having been passed (but that date may not be earlier than that on which the last member agreed to it).
