Our Committee has recently updated the NZIX by-laws to introduce 6.4, which clarifies the voting rights of any exchange participant receiving complimentary services. The updated section reads as follows:
“Members who pay for their services, and are in good standing, will be classed as Full Members (see section 5.3 of the NZIX society rules), and will therefore have voting rights in the Society and may nominate to represent their organisation on the NZIX committee. Members shall be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter submitted to the Members. Members who receive services at no charge will be classed as Affiliate Members (see section 5.4 of the NZIX society rules) and will therefore have no voting rights in the Society and may not be nominated to represent their organisation on the NZIX committee.”
