OAMA Governance Documents
OAVA’s activities are governed by its Constitution and ByLaws. These may be amended if considered appropriate or necessary at the two-yearly general meeting of Affiliates which is held at each Oceania Regional Championship and is known as the Assembly.
Administration is the responsibility of the Council elected at each Assembly. The Council is bound to act in terms of decisions made at the Assembly, and to abide by the Constitution and ByLaws.
In carrying out its responsibilities, Council obviously makes decisions on matters not covered by the Constitution and ByLaws.
Decisions made by the Assembly and by Council are recorded in the minutes of their meetings. However, with inevitable changes in personnel, it is difficult for delegates, officers and council members to maintain knowledge of decisions made without constant reference to past minutes and other documents.
Council has therefor adopted formal ‘Policy Statements’ on issues which are not covered by the Constitution and ByLaws, which enable consistent policies to be followed and enable affiliates to be aware of Council policy.
These Policy Statements are reviewed regularly by Council, and amended as considered necessary or in accordance with decisions of the Assembly.
Current Policy Statements are set out in two sections:
  • General policies
  • Oceania Championship policies
These documents can be downloaded by clicking on the links below. Any amendments to these documents will be included for future download.
