This change will require people to be members of UQCS for two weeks before a general meeting in order to vote (or otherwise participate, which largely means running for election or moving motions). This adds a small hurdle to prevent stacking at an election. While stacking hasn't been a problem for UQCS in the past, it can suddenly become a major problem, so it's better to guard against it preventively. The notice period for a general meeting is two weeks, so having the same length for this means that the requirement isn't overly odious. The side benefit is that quorum will be fixed two weeks out, and won't suddenly increase moments before the AGM commences.
Also includes a change to the proxy clauses, to make the section flow better, and to limit proxies to two per member, another anti-stacking measure. The Chair clause has been clarified to reflect how the AGMs actually run, with the outgoing president chairing the AGM even after the election of a new president.
