[AUUG-Talk]: [clug] Changes to org.au eligibility

[Rodney Peters]

I'm currently treasurer of an association, that is incorporated in ACT 
and have held that office as well as others in another.

It's a little less onerous than it used to be:

     now no annual fee

     associations having low turnover no longer have an audit, but 
require a lesser review of accounts.  The reviewer does not need 
accounting qualifications

     a Constitution is no longer mandatory

A Committee (of at least 4, AFAIK) plus an AGM are required.

OTOH, if the hassle can be avoided ...
