The Constitution Review Panel met on 1 April 2026 to discuss the next phase of the review of the Council's Constitution. The Panel considered proposed drafting amendments and procedural clarifications to the Constitution, including refinements to public participation provisions, and the sequencing and timing of questions, motions, and amendments. The Panel also discussed revisions to motion handling, call-in arrangements, and thresholds for exceptions and referrals, as well as financial and contractual provisions. The Panel resolved to request that the Council adopt the revised Constitution, subject to the amendments discussed.
