[接上页] 5. Officers of the Assembly The officers of the Assembly shall consist of a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer and such other officers as may be found necessary for the proper conduct of its affairs. The officers shall be elected by a majority vote of the entire membership of the Assembly taken by secret ballot. 6. Meetings and transaction of business by circulation of papers The first meeting of a newly-elected Assembly shall be called by the member elected to membership by the highest number of votes or, in case two or more members have received the same highest number of votes, then by the member selected by lot from among of those members; and this member shall preside until the permanent Chairman shall be chosen. All subsequent meetings shall be called by the Secretary of the Assembly at the request of the Chairman or, in his absence or incapacity, of the Vice-Chairman, or of any three members of the Assembly; provided, however, that the Annual Meeting of the Assembly shall be held at a time and place to be fixed by a majority vote of the Assembly, as hereinafter provided. The Assembly may transact any of its business by circulation of papers amongst members (whether any such member is inside or outside Hong Kong), and a resolution in writing which is approved in writing by not less than five members of the Assembly shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed by a meeting of the Assembly. 7. Quorum Five members of the Assembly present at a meeting shall constitute a quorum, and a majority vote of those present and constituting a quorum shall be sufficient for the conduct of business, except as otherwise provided in this constitution, and with due regard to the principle of unity and cordial fellowship involved in the institution of a Baha'i spiritual assembly. The decisions and transactions of the Assembly shall be recorded at each meeting by the Secretary, who shall supply copies of the minutes to the Assembly members after each meeting, and preserve the minutes in the official records of the Assembly. 8. Local spiritual assemblies (1) Whenever in any authorized area, the number of voting members exceeds nine, they shall on 21st April of any year convene and elect by plurality vote a local administrative body of nine members, to be known as the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of that community. Every such local spiritual assembly shall be elected annually thereafter upon each successive 21st April. The members shall hold office for the term of one year or until their successors are elected and qualified. When, however, the number of Baha'is in any such authorized area is exactly nine, they shall on April 21st of any year, or in successive years, constitute themselves the local spiritual assembly by joint declaration. Upon the recognition of such declaration by the Secretary of the Assembly the said body of nine shall become established with the rights, privileges and duties of a local spiritual assembly. (2) Each newly-elected local spiritual assembly shall at once proceed in the manner indicated in paragraphs 5 and 6 to the election of its officers, who shall consist of a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, and such other officers as the Assembly finds necessary for the conduct of its business and the fulfilment of its spiritual duties. Immediately thereafter the Secretary chosen shall transmit to the Secretary of the Assembly the names of the members of the newly-elected local spiritual assembly and a list of its officers. (3) The general powers and duties of a local spiritual assembly shall be as set forth in the writing of Baha'u'llah, 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi. (4) Among its more specific duties, a local spiritual assembly shall have jurisdiction of all Baha'i activities and affairs within the local community, subject, however, to the exclusive and paramount authority of the Assembly as defined herein. (5) Vacancies in the membership of a local spiritual assembly shall be filled by election at a special meeting of the voting members then living within that authorized area duly called for that purpose by the Assembly. In the event that the number of vacancies exceeds four, making a quorum of the local spiritual assembly impossible, the election shall be held under the supervision of the Assembly. (6) The business of the local spiritual assembly shall be conducted in like manner as provided for the deliberations of the Assembly in paragraph 6. (7) The local spiritual assembly shall pass upon and approve the qualifications of each member of the Baha'i community before such member shall be admitted as a voting member or thereafter removed as a voting member; but where an individual is dissatisfied with the ruling of the local spiritual assembly upon his status as a voting member, such individual may appeal from the ruling to the Assembly, which shall thereupon take jurisdiction of and finally decide the case. (8) On or before the 1st November of each year the Secretary of each local spiritual assembly shall send to the Secretary of the Assembly a duly certified list of the voting members of the local Baha'i community for the information and approval of the Assembly. |
